A silver circle law firm headquartered in London’s Moorgate district that prides itself in modular but verbose drafting, Hedge fund clients, a fine collection of rapidly depreciating Damian Hirst paintings and a day-long CPD fest where grateful clients can exchange a single day's crushing tedium for all the CPD points they could possibly need.

On the other hand, they do like to create a kerfuffle among their asset manager clients about broker terms of business every time MiFID gets updated. This was funny the first time.
