Home: where the work is

Never mind sole practioners working in chambers (The Lawyer, 25 March), let them work from home with electronic connections if necessary.

The economics are indisputable. Imagine a life with no partners, profits more than 90 per cent of turnover, no employees, visiting clients at home, few meetings, and so on.

Anyone contemplating this should read the excellent Teleworking Handbook sponsored by the EC, which accurately addresses the various legal/tax issues and is published by TCA (tel: 0800 616008) at £13.95.
