Solicitors, barristers and other legal professionals operate businesses which rely on clients. The majority of clients are gender blind. They want the most competent person to represent them, whether male or female. Those who are competent attract their own client followings and guard them jealously. Who can blame them ? It takes a lot of time and effort to build up a following and keep it. Along comes a quota demanding that I hand over part of my clientele to someone else. What happens ? I leave with my clients and go to another practice where I can work freely. Quotas in companies are no different. Merit is always recognisable and is usually rewarded, irrespective of gender. It is those with an inflated view of themselves who usually complain the most.
