Hi Conor ,
You pre-empted me a bit as I had you on the list of those clients to write to in September to suggest seeking alternatives , since we have now grown significantly and while the fees are quite significant to you , to us they are starting to become the opposite – as I am sure you understand from your own operations .
Unfortunately the more international firms are probably out of the question and likely to incur higher fees , as we recently found when trying to address a conflict issue with a client of a similar size .
I will ask my staff if they can recommend some-one who is more “ local “ and may be able to offer lower fees .
Regards ,
Mark
