Many of you will, no doubt, have watched ITV's highly successful historical drama Downton Abbey.
What many of you may not have done, however, is turn it's bucolic setting and lush characterisation into an excuse to sell legal services.
Sadly, the PR bods at recently-established Berkeley Law of Mayfair didn't get the memo. Read it and weep (or pehaps retain a Downton-esque stiff upper lip at all times).
