Assuming rules won't be bent (which is the angle I would try first), then if you really want to keep the role...
1. If the consultancy are going to engage you direct (i.e. not via their preferred agency) then continue to use your agency, so client -> consultancy -> agency -> you
2. Have you asked the agency how much they would want your ltd to pay should you engage directly with the consultancy... you might be able to come to an agreement?

I can always say to (1b) I am ending the contract full stop and if they find out they have option to sue or not but how likely they would get into this mess for 1 person. I guess they would be suing my ltd.

2. (a) client (b) consultancy (c) me
My contract ends on 19 September. Client (a) wants to extend me however due to internal politics I can't be extended due to head count restriction hence I need to come back as consultant. A big consultancy on the project said they are happy to bring me in however as you may expect (b) has got 12month clause preventing me from employment with (a) other than through (b).
What can I do here - I ve got a week to do this. Both (a) and (b) are big market players none of which would want to jeopardise relationship for me I would think. Agent already said his agency won't let it happen.
