I for one am sick and tired of Solicitors being everyone`s whipping boy/ girl . There is this load of nonsense , the anti money laundering purge and finally the lunacy of price transparency . All the time we are told we should act in a commercial way and at the same time adhere to "professional Standards" , not just in our jobs but also in our private lives . I think the two concepts are incompatible . Secondly we have a regulator which always takes the other party`s side and invents useless projects like the above to keep people in jobs , and charges us all into the bargain. The Legal Profession is a joke and will only change as and when we are allowed to regulate ourselves again . The Law Society is also a joke- what purpose does it serve - it is completely useless.Given the current door mat mentality around , that is not likely to happen soon . I am pleased I am much nearer the end of my career than at the beginning . I pity those poor kids who are now becoming solicitors. My advise would be do something else .
