    Okay I had a little weekend break but I wanted to discuss some recent news that will be affecting how firms operate. The Mazur decision came down in November last year and is pertinent. But why? Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys considered whether a non-authorised person is entitled to conduct...

Competitors in Western markets are looking at how to tap into the global landscape when their LLMs right now are...
