[QUOTE="M&ALawyer, post: 43323, member: 2647"] I think it’s a balance. In reference to the examples you provided; An executive decision made by someone senior is respected; but there’s no reason why you cant provide your input to help or communicate some objections they may not be aware of. Ultimately they are bringing in work so it’s their call at the end of the day so there are limits to how much you can challenge. Helping clients pay as low tax as possible is perfectly fine (as long as it’s legal), so I don’t see why you would challenge at all. Now if it’s something unprofessional or illegal (e.g discrimination, racism, actions against SRA rules) then definitely you can say you would challenge + report. From my understanding, a task is only suspect if it brings the firm in disrepute and/or against the law. Outside of this, you can voice an opinion as long as it’s pragmatic (and not political like taxes might be). [/QUOTE]
