The office's counsel bill is down by 46%, which must be acknowledged. Is that as a result of the office reducing the fees it is paying by a straight cut or is it through skill mixes such as hiring a junior counsel when once a senior counsel was hired? As a result of this reduction, do senior or junior counsel refuse to work for the office as the fees are too low?
