Shoosmiths chief exec steps down in wake of trainee deferral row

I think the biggest surprise about this is if it actually comes as a surprise to anyone! I wonder how Tom and George feel now, it is particularly impressive to provoke the resignation of your Chief Exec before even starting, a fine addition to the CV! I did enjoy: “He felt the time was right to hand his leadership role to someone new to shape the next chapter in our history. He’s leaving us amicably and we wish him all the very best.” Though would have preferred "he made a calamitous decision highlighted by an equally disastrous attempt at cheap publicity and we needed a scapegoat". Oh Shoosmiths. I'm embarrassed by this and don't even work for you!
