It is unfortunate that the Law Society would write a report recognising the prospect of "more small and medium-sized firms struggle to close or fund runoff cover", and the regulatory burdens forcing us to "relinquish official use of the solicitor title,", but then conclude that they are merely telling us this so that we can make decisions about the future. Would they not care to intervene and press for change on our behalf? Is that not what a representative body does?
