Perhaps it's my age (21 for the second time) but sometimes it feels like things happen prematurely. I'm sure that bottle of wine was empty long before it's time, and if that waiter tries to take my plate away before I've finished I will have to show him one of the main reasons why I […]

Do I scare you?
Nevertheless, recent research suggests that many people are intimidated by solicitors. They find it hard to approach them and discuss their problems. Perhaps they are worried that it will cost too much. Maybe they think they won't understand the answer, or that the solicitor they speak to will look down on them for having got […]
Read MoreEveryone who has staff knows what they need to know €“ or at least they think they do.
1. WHAT CATEGORY DO YOUR STAFF FALL IN TO? I don’t mean are they good or bad, or reliable or flaky, but what is their legal status. They can come under any one of a number of headings a. Self employed b. Employed c. Worker d. Intern What category they fall in to will determine […]
Read MoreLost and Found
Anyone who has been watching my ranting on Twitter over the last couple of days will no doubt know that I returned from holiday over the weekend, but my luggage didn’t. Initially I wasn’t hugely concerned. The airline had it all under control and seemed to know where the missing case was and that it […]
Read MoreSshhhh! Can you keep a secret????

They might think it's dramatic, like on TV, with last minute rushes to Court with the vital piece of evidence that wins the case. What I doubt anyone realises, is how funny […]
Read MoreThere are fairies at the bottom of my garden
No need to check the date to see if it's 1 April already, or to call for the men in white coats. I'm perfectly sane and normal, or as normal as anyone responsible for two children can ever be. Of course there aren't fairies at the bottom of my garden, not least of all […]
Read MoreThe devil is in the detail!
Much of what we do involves attention to detail. A comma in the wrong place or a full stop instead of a semi colon can change the whole effect of a sentence, and so change the legal implications. Even if it only causes a degree of ambiguity it can mean confusion and cost money to […]
Read MoreWhat, this old thing? I’ve had it for years!
I was getting dressed up in my favourite little black number the other day (as a regular court goer I have quite a few!) when my other half commented on how nice it was (told you it was my favourite!) and asked if it was new. Without thinking, I'm already explaining not only how old […]
