Current contract: there's an end-client, a consultancy, an agency, and my ltd.
Because of a bust-up, the end-client refuses to work with the consultancy in future. Even if rates are lowered. They would like to work with my ltd instead and are offering to do so via a different agency that the pm knows.
My ltd has a handcuff clause with the original agency, probably exceeding the likely amount of work in prospect.
Is there anything that can be done here? I suppose everyone could keep schtumm, but if there's an IR35 investigation, or HMRC bring in some rules for greater transparency, that won't help.
