Offensive when company replaces one for seeking advice (10)
I believe the answer is:
consulting
'seeking advice' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'offensive when company replaces one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
(Another definition for consulting that I've seen is " seeking advice".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
