Clifford Chance makes up largest cohort of new partners in a decade

how on earth is this a "premium" story on The Lawyer's website?

 

I am not suggesting that The Lawyer does not write such stories (although a light-hearted Tatler style column may well re-invigorate this tired brand), but rather I am asking why this story should be behind a paywall.

a lot of the 'people' stories are behind paywall as they are the gossipy ones that people might actually want to bother to read, and the evil overlords at The Lawyer think they can seduce you into buying an overpriced subscription

He was one of the 32 candidates given a go-round. Him and the women, except Sarah who in her spare time was selected for the SAS reserve and won Britain's Strongest Man in January.

We should not judge, though. The list is impressive and these are truly diverse candidates with a very strong catalogue of abilities between them. Bent Weenis, for example, actually devised a sustainable energy source which powers his computer and office lighting using the kinetic energy of his three testicles.

Brian Spastic eats a cheese sandwich on white at 11.59 every day with the crusts cut off using his bonsai scissors, and is of course the author of Spastic on Witholding Tax.

Good one. Being the Thai King's nephew, who also got caught sharing a bed with the managing partner James Repressed - Paedopants, had absolutely nothing to do with it either. CCs unit merit based development program really works.
