JRS is 20 years old today. Who’d of thunk it back then?
It started with just me, then some admin support, along came Andy, then all the others and we are currently a team of 9.
Over the years we have diversified a little, as the website shows. We have also had to “specialize” somewhat too. It is genuinely incalculable how many hundreds of firms we have worked with but it is heartening to know that the first 2 paying customers are still practicing albeit in merged or different firms.
Without getting sentimental there have been many highs and some lows – they parlous state of the publicly funded scheme compared to 1996 being by far the worst.
Despite all the aggressive anti-legal aid propaganda – “fat cat lawyers” and baseless allegations of widespread fraud to name but two – we have never found this to be so. Rather we have been blessed to work with an almost entirely committed, effective and professional group of clients, working tirelessly in an increasingly difficult attempt to secure access to justice to the most disadvantaged.
As our Franchise compliant Business Plan said back then – lets keep it going as long as we can. So far it’s been a genuine pleasure.
Great work and good milestone – well don Simon and team 🙂
Well done
I hit 20 years on 1/11
Congratulations on surviving all the changes
