		<title>Jobsworth talks to &#8230; Brian Inkster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Here at long last is my first podcast.  It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been meaning to do for a several months and I&#8217;m delighted that Brian Inkster of Inksters Solicitors in Glasgow was able to speak to me to discuss his law practice, use of social media and his thoughts on the use of technology.  To learn [...]

I haven’t blogged much on here recently, partly because of being busy at work but also because I have been setting up two other blogs and a podcast.
The first blog – ukblawgroundup – I’ve mentioned on here before.  This is the name of the blog carnival for UK Lawyers which reviews the UK legal blogging [...]

		<title>The Legal Services Act 2007</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Yesterday I spoke at a workshop arranged by Gateway Media on the theme of &#8220;Combating Tesco Law: Preparing your Brand Presence&#8221;.  I tried to explain what the LSA does in about an hour &#8211; it was a bit of a rush but no one fell asleep and I hope I got the main points across.  [...]

		<title>It&#8217;s quality, not quantity that counts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
 
I recently read a post on The Client Revolution, a US blog,  called &#8220;What lawyers can learn from an Office Depot Commercial&#8221;.  It&#8217;s  about how small law firms can compete with larger businesses, not by trying to compete on price, but in other ways, namely quality of work. The post is well worth a read, [...]

		<title>Mouse Fitness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
We&#8217;ve had a problem with mice in the office recently so when I saw a tweet from @jonb1966 linking to this YouTube video, I had to put it on here.  As Jon says it&#8217;s very funny, if a little disturbing.  I don&#8217;t think any animals were actually hurt in making it.

		<title>Constructive Dismissal: Good news for Employers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Daniel Barnett’s regular news alert brought the case of Aberdeen City Council v McNeill to my attention. It provides a useful reminder about who must be in breach of the contract of employment before an employee can pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
The facts were these:
Mr McNeill was a long standing employee of the Council. [...]

No, not a post about the dreaded Tesco law, but an article from the Metro on what you can and can&#8217;t wear in their stores.

Any more ideas for what should be banned?  Shell suits?  Man U shirts?

It’s getting a bit scary.  Recently I wrote about how I predicted that Gordon Turner’s serial-litigants.com search website for tracking down abusers of the ET system would be challenged (and it was, in Parliament). Then I wrote a piece about the need for employers to develop social media policies for use by their staff – [...]
