Imagine it is now 2025. The May Government has fallen , a radical socialist government is in place and its attitudes are permeating every aspect of life , including the Legal Profession .

Will the following happen:

* Price transparency will apply for all legal work and fixed quotes will be compulsory unless a solicitor can demonstrate good reasons to the contrary .

*Mandatory quotas for employment of BME, transgender and so on and so forth . Failure to comply , or demonstrate that full compliance is not possible because of an extraneous reason shall result in being struck off and prosecution for a criminal offence with sequestration of all assets.

*No overdrafts or borrowings permitted- referral fees banned.

*Entry into profession by white middle class entrants severely restricted in favour of less well qualified from minority or poorer backgrounds.

* Trainee solicitors salaries set at £40 ,000 , commencing, going up to £50,000 after one year.

*Special levy of 15% gross fees to be paid to help fund non profit making law centres.

Special levy of 10% of gross fees to fund uninsured negligence claims.

All solicitors to take competency exams every year- pass mark 80%. Failure to passresult in strike off and heavy fines.

All Workers and employees to be given a 20% stake in firm regardless of time spent in employment. All dividends of over £1000 to be paid to the Government.

*Membership of comparison websites to be compulsory and firms must demonstrate compliance by signing up to a service standard .

*All staff must be recruited via a government agency and candidates give full details of political and social leanings. Candidates deemed undesirable will not be admitted.


You may laugh , but I think at least some of the above will happen
