London Boroughs Legal Alliance grows from cuts

Steve There are certainly some exceptions, but my experience of working in-house in the public sector is that external law firms are rarely as expert as they believe! I feel I'm well placed to comment having worked for a major private law firm before moving to the public sector. I niavely thought when I arrived that I would bring a better understanding, however I quickly realised that the in-house practitioners are almost always the expert. The "innovative solutions" you refer to are almost always a desperate last throw of the dice by solicitors that believe their own hype. If private sector law firms really were half as good as they believe, they would put their highly caveated engagement letters to one side!
