Shoosmiths chief exec steps down in wake of trainee deferral row

The man had to go as soon as he blurted out this nugget: “I don’t regret not offering any compensation to our trainees because we spent lots of time making the ­decision,” Stothard says bullishly. “The only way I would have regretted it was if we had been careless in our decision-making.” A hopeless decision is a hopeless decision, regardless of whether it took a micro-second or a month to muster. Good luck to Claire Rowe who will have to undertake a monumental charm offensive to salvage their reputation.
