• Around 20,000 forms and precedents (including those for sale of land, landlord and tenant, commercial law, wills and trusts, family law).


• Practical drafting notes to forms and precedents.


• Detailed commentary on relevant law and practice.


• Checklists, procedural tables and guidance on land registration, stamp duty, and taxation.

Contributors are leading authorities in their fields: solicitors, barristers, academics and members of the judiciary.

UPDATING
EF&P is updated on a rolling basis throughout the year in response to changes in practice and the law. As a minimum, this means 1 release per month. A release may include:

• A complete rewrite of material in a single title, including commentary and precedents;


• amended forms and precedents only;


• information notes highlighting forthcoming changes.

The team review the material across the titles, and new developments in the law and practice are reflected in title rewrites and selective updating.

EF&P is contributed by specialist authors; therefore all new legislation cannot be incorporated immediately.
