Doctorate No
Posted 22/06/2007 by The Daily Diary
Ashurst commissars recently sent out a firmwide diktat banning academic qualifications from the email signatures of its partners. The Diary is not entirely sure what prompted the e-decree but your correspondent could hear the unmistakable whinnying of City bluebloods irked that the £60 they shelled out to upgrade their BA Cantab to an MA Cantab was not money well spent after all.
However, outright rebellion almost resulted in Germany, where the firm’s partners were apparently very reluctant indeed to surrender their hard-earned doctorates in email correspondence.
Luckily, a partnership meeting saw the controversial policy quickly binned – for the Frankfurt and Munich offices, anyway, striking a telling blow for cultural relativism. Or perhaps just for Germany.
Ashurst Munich: Now, where does it hurt?
