If the client agrees, the whole thing becomes a lot easier through the chain. Just make sure you still engage the brolly formally.
I've been in contracts where even in a fixed term contract, there are provisions, at least on one side, for early termination. I know you've found the "No provision for early termination." line, but I'd still look for other notice provisions. They may conflict but it'll give you an idea of original intent.
There's also a difference between a fixed term contract, and a contract which has an initial term.
Don't concentrate too much on the 'I've got the same employment rights' part - its not actually true.
Do you have a view on whether the brolly would lose out financially (aside from margin) if you left early? Whilst an early exist out of a true fixed term arrangement can be pursued legally, it is likely to depend on losses actually incurred (unless other costs/liability clauses exist).
