Herbert Smith to open Belfast office to handle litigation due diligence

NI has some of the best litigators in the world. It comes with the whole "divided society" lark and our propensity to argue with each other. I suggest "IHateBPP" gets his facts straight and then peddles his xenophobic rantings elsewhere. As a city (ie London!) trained solicitor (who, coincidentally, did complete the tortuous examination of profound legal knowledge that is the LPC) I take exception to IHateBPP's comments. NI has a proud legal tradition which is separate to that of England and Wales. Now, where is that other country that has a similarly proud legal tradition? Oh yes, that would be Scotland. And France come to think of it. And the USA. And, oh, every other country in the world. I assume that "most" [Scots][French][US] lawyers should be classed as similarly debilitated by not having completed the devious complexities of the LPC. And, for the record IHateBPP, you'll need to understand the concept of irony in order to fully appreciate this post. But I'll forgive you if that's beyond you. Now, did someone mention that Herbies want me to paginate bundles for them?
