Choose not to take part in work with solicitor (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opt out

'choose not to take part' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'work with solicitor' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (short for opus).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (someone who solicits business).
'op'+'tout'='OPT-OUT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for opt out that I've seen before include "Choose not to participate" , "Choose not to do something" , "Decide to withdraw" , "'Choose not to take part (3,3)'" , "Choose to be excluded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
