We are receiving reports that requests for increases in New Matter Starts are being routinely rejected. One client has been advised by their account manager that this is indeed a national directive. This does not bode well for the turn of the year!
It also means that firms will begin to manage their starts (indeed one firm told me they were already doing this, just this morning) and, for better or worse, for loss or gain, cherry pick clients and cases. Not the best advert for the 60th Anniversary.
