« Continuous professional devilment | Diary campaign: Free the Beyonce two | Our Tone: a tribute to Linklaters' guardian Angel (part one) »

Clients of one mid-market City firm may find their deals in March this year are mysteriously put on hold.
A senior corporate partner at the firm is currently battling against politically correct colleagues who have banned him from hanging up his artistic and entirely tasteful Beyonce calendar in the office. The calendar – deemed inappropriate for client contact by certain concerned parties – has since been consigned to a bottom draw of the partner’s desk.
Yet while the bootylicious babe is not exactly over-dressed in any of the pictures, March is apparently the worst offender by far.
Always eager to help, The Diary suggested covering offending areas of skin with a felt-tip pen. However, the partner demonstrated the kind of intuitive, outside-the-box problem-solving that separates godlike rainmakers like him from the rest of us – suggesting that he cancel client meetings for the entire month in question.
Litigation partners take note!
