It looks as though some people, at least, are capable of getting a clue about how to do a law firm blog properly. Philip Hyland at pjhlaw, an WestEast Midlands employment law specialist, emailed Geeklawyer alerting him to the firms blog, employmentlawatwork. Very interesting.
Unlike the esoteric conflict of laws Geeklawyer is not embarrassed to be interested in this subject matter which has a, limited, peripheral connection with his own practise - confidentiality, restrictive covenants, IPR yada yada.
An interesting story on the site was of a gay person who was employed for only eight days and harassed. Net cost to the employer was an astonishing £120,000. Wow!! Geeklawyer would like to be the only gay in that village; for £120k he could pretend not to be straight for a while.
Nicely presented blog (not this one, obviously - I mean the employmentlawatwork blog.) Bookmarked.
And conflicts is decidedly practical, you know. It’s just difficult as well.
Geeklawyer… I suspect that you may need several years at RADA to pull that particular metamorphosis of…
I see you (this afternoon - after a glass at the Bollo) more as Richard III (Olivier)… seated on a throne, lit well from above… sinister…. thoughtful… and scheming…… with a bizarre Mary Quant style wig on…. saying “And now… is the winter of our discontent… made glorious summer by this blog of York.”
I see myself, this day, as more in the “Charon of Arabia” mold… on a camel…. riding fast across the dunes towards an oasis which serves dates, fresh water, liver and mash and Rioja.
Thanks for that. We’re East Mids not West Mids but hey WTF> Cheers
