Met demands cut-price rates as scandal hots up

I am sorry to disappoint anonymous - but a bigger hourly rate does not indicate that you are necessarily better qualified than others to advise. The firm I work for advises numerous police forces already and our rates are in line with what the Met wants - the work is still profitable for us and several of our own lawyers are chambers and legal 500 recognised. This is just the start, hourly rates have to come down across the board so firms better think about ways of improving efficiency or cutting overhead costs if they still want to do the work. It's not rocket science.
