Sex in the City

Most lawyers expect to have acknowledgments in legal textbooks, but not so for Linklaters' corporate partner Roger Barron.

Tulkinghorn, when indulging his softer, more feminine side, was flicking through chick-lit opus The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella and noticed Barron getting a thank you for his help with the book.

A little bit of sleuthing by a Tulkinghorn scribe revealed that Barron had managed to get Kinsella a day inside the magic circle firm to help research her romance story of a City lawyer.

Kinsella's research was so thorough that in the novel there's even a pile of copies of The Lawyer in the corner of the City lawyer's office.

Thanks for the support, Roger.
