How to enter

Please write an article that OBR readers will understand, learn from and enjoy, 400-800 words, about the relationship between law and business.

Some article ideas:

• What recent change in legislation do you think will have the greatest impact on business?
• The impact of scientific developments (AI, Biotech, etc.) on the business and legal landscape
• Is legislation the solution to economic issues with the environment?
• How does the law help people to start their own business?

These are just suggestions, feel free to write about anything and everything in this huge topic. We encourage submissions from all subject backgrounds at any academic level of business knowledge as the article will be judged not only on its content but its readability.
