Financial Year End

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. If your workplace has been anywhere near to organised and normal over the past week or so, you are very fortunate. It’s traditionally an “Anti-Christmas” period at law firms nationwide where unprofitable years are turned into profitable ones in the 11th hour, everyone’s working overtime, Partners are striding about wielding lengthy spreadsheets and asking searching questions about billing targets, ultimatums are delivered every 30 minutes or so via a mix of team meetings, one-to-one “chats” and email, and inevitably there is some kind of IT problem which seems to come at the worst possible time…..your own war story accounts and year end woes are welcome.
