Private Life

I had a long discussion concerning the post Carter world with a client firm yesterday afternoon and am going out to do the same face-to-face this morning (makes a change from Immigration CCAs).
Both pose me essentially the same question “is there a future?”. What is disturbing is that both represent, in their respective markets, just the type of firm, i.e. a probable Preferred Supplier, the LSC both want, and will need, to keep in the scheme. Despite that both are seriously considering a new life outside of publicly funded work which, with todays practice, will create the LSC with a massive local supply problem.
And my advice?
As it has always been, despite the potential loss of work to my firm, if you can move to private client only work do it.
