You're correct. I am not a partner but I am a solicitor who used up his holidays earlier in the year hence why I will be working.
The checks are not simple unfortunately, especially given the precedent set by our previous admins and the involvement of the lease. They are trying to ensure this is the last admin (I can already see how devastating that will be for some) at least for a while anyway. Hence proper checks are needed.
Has the overall process taken too long? Yes. Should the process have been rushed and a snap decision made when the dozen or so initial approaches were made? No.
