If these are aligned, then you would get employment rights, and the client should be liable for the employers NI, if you lose an IR35 case. That means not only will clients be motivated to adopt IR35 proof contracts and practices, they will also be motivated to fight IR35 cases, rather than saying whatever might come to mind when Hector comes calling. And if you lose, it costs a lot less because the client is sharing the burden.
