"Never cut what you can untie" comes from Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

Joseph Joubert was a French moralist and essayist.

The quote advises against resorting to drastic or destructive solutions when more gentle or nuanced approaches are possible.

It suggests that it's often better to resolve problems through careful consideration and understanding ("untie") rather than through abrupt or forceful actions ("cut")

The quote can be used in many situations:

Relationships: Emphasising the importance of communication and compromise over severing ties
Problem-solving: Encouraging thoughtful solutions rather than hasty decisions.
It has been linked to concepts similar to "don't burn your bridges".
In essence, the quote encourages patience, diplomacy, and a preference for resolving issues through understanding and reconciliation


A few videos 

Welcome! We've created these videos to help you understand some potentially challenging subjects. We've added a touch of humour to make the information more accessible and memorable. We hope you find them interesting and useful. We appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Anti-Money Laundering

We've created a series of short videos on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) that we think you'll find both informative and, dare we say, a little bit entertaining. We've aimed to make a potentially dry subject more engaging, and we hope you enjoy watching them while gaining valuable insights into important AML practices.

Forget the fairy tale! When it comes to AML risk assessments, there's no magic wand. Your firm's risk is as unique as Cinderella's foot. A 'one size fits all' approach? More like a 'one size fits nobody' pumpkin fiasco.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) updated their Sectoral Risk Assessment for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) on March 5th, 2024. 

Always go to source for information which is SRA. Check their website regularly for their updates.
