Does the Team think?

[David Stepney]

When I first started work as a clerk in a solicitors office now more years ago than I care to remember,dark suits (preferably 3 piece) were 'de rigeur'. A blazer and grey trousers might be worn occasionally in the summer but were considered a bit racy. Brown shoes were absolutely forbidden.

The other week, I had occasion to visit a large firm of solicitors in Birmingham and met the head of litigation there, who was dressed in 'distressed' (i.e. fashionably holey jeans) and T shirt. How times have changed!
