One of Tulkinghorn's scribes was interested to read a press release from the Financial Times (no, not DLA or Wragge & Co) the other day. Three law firms, including DLA and Wragges, had finished in the Top 100 Bestest Places To Work In Europe list. The other? Well, Finland's Hannes Snellman, of course.

Tulkinghorn hears from his Scando correspondent that Hannes Snellman is indeed a lovely place to work, but was wondering whether this list would have anything to do with self-nomination? Probably not, or surely Clifford Chance's associates would have nominated their own beloved firm. Wouldn't they?
