Dominic Cooper is legend and pretty much always right.

This obsession with comparison is disturbing.

It has a place, like virtually anything else, but anyone with a modicum of intelligence asks themselves are they actually meaningful and reliable ?

Ultimately, much as insurers and the SRA might not like it, law is a highly risky business as is the subject matter itself.

There has always been and always will be a large degree of 'fly by the seat of your pants' however risk averse you try to make it, as indeed are all sectors where advice is sought.

Inherent risk, leads to a variety of outcomes, including complaints, many of which are highly questionable and reflect the 'consumer' having a go culture, Esther Rantzen and 'Which' have engendered. it becomes self fulfilling, shock horror !

Treat comparison websites with caution and of course, they will be littered with caveats !

I used to think you had to be good to get in the Legal 500, but realised many years ago, errm, no..you just pay to get in it.
