I can only speak for myself Russell, but why would I want to become partner now? Criminal Legal Aid is going down the drain and you're suggesting I take on the SRA, LAA, SQM/Lexcel, any debt the firm already has, any historic problems the firm has, in exchange for an uncertain future? If I were going to own a law firm dealing with crime it would be private only with no client account. Limited SRA oversight, no LAA audits, no SQM/Lexcel nonsense...

Maybe if the Legal Aid 'desert' comes to fruition the LAA will be forced to increase fees and I'll reconsider. Until then, no chance.
