Off out to see some clients, to discuss some stuff, having done lots of boring admin things this morning – our online banking is having some of the problems previously faced by the LSC’s. I am also going to watch something potentially very interesting this pm – will report back.
I have put a panoramic photo of Barcelona from Park Guell, not unlike this one, as my laptop wallpaper to cheer me up. A positive, Category 3 PR result hits my desk. It should be a 2 I think, technically if nothing else, but currently you can’t make such representations. Andy is now an accredited […]
Costs queries! Had them virtually all the last 2 days. Please ring me up to talk about something, anything, else.
A couple of things have forced me to think about solicitors and IT recently. That said it is a long time since we have had an in depth look at the software available to law firms.

Now the current procurement exercise is for something a bit different however it is motivated by the same resource, and increasingly ideological, agenda. Read the […]

Exceptional claims contain a […]
I spent a significant part of yesterday, when not in the car, looking at family standard fee claims. They had fallen under the microscope because of a deep red breach of the 20% Fixed Fee Margin KPI. A significant number were, unfortunately, misclaimed level 2 private law matters which would be a struggle to justify. […]
Today’s Friday song is once again sparked by last nights TV watching. I did see Alison Krauss on the American Folk program on BBC 4 which was good – I love that Brad Paisly duet (which just about everyone else I know hates, the video is a bit over the top mind). It is not […]
