Apparently Aussie lawyers are not quite as laid back as Tulkinghorn had thought – quite literally.

A Sydney escort agency with the name ‘Miss Fleiss’ has, over the past three or four years, approached almost every law firm in the city for representation, and sadly been turned down.

“Firms fear our clients may be their clients,” said the lovely ladies of the night in a desperate email to the Law Council of Australia.

Talking to The Australian Financial Review, the owner of the agency said: “No one will touch us.” Well, maybe not in daylight hours.
