Practical Law UK Tip - how to get document updates
Practical Law documents are written and maintained by a team of experienced lawyer-writers who are continuously monitoring legal developments to ensure our subscribers are kept up to date.
- If a Practical Law document is marked as Maintained, that means our writers are committed to keeping it up to date with any changes to the law.
- If changes have been made to a Practical Law document, a View Resource History link will display. Click this link to find out more about why particular amendments have been made.
