I hope any of you fookers humbly tooting your own horns get yourself straight onto http://www.billablehour.org/ to give an hour's worth of your humble, but delighted to be recognised, time to SavetheChildren.
indeed, but billablehour is mostly focused on you lot of "cannot believe I've been recognised in this directory that my firm's PR team heavily lobbied to include me in!"
Which means it's also time to try and remember what exciting deals you've done this year and then explain them in a way that makes them sound much grander than "I bought a house for a client because that's what I do".
thanks jelly, but some of us already give significantly more than one billable hour's worth (both in time and money) to charitable and other worthy causes, so there's no real need for a lecture from you.
Delighted to have been ranked in the top tier after having pestered my colleagues to write glowing reviews of me and had my firm's PR department buy tables at events etc..
My experience is that colleagues don't even need to write glowing reviews. The HOD gets their trainee/Sec to compile deal details and a list of who is in the team, and internal politics dictates the rest.
Following the implosion of Fartz, Dank Flavour swooped in 2020 and acquired the entire licensing team placing Danks head and shoulders above the South East Birmingham competition. Department head Liz Moron has rare talents and newcomers Gary Fiddler, Jean-Pierre Brouhaha and Perry Nayam have a lifetime's experience of difficult lunches.
Jesus Bonaparte of Godspell's is a "known entity" and works closely with Kate Skirt, Geraldine Hornbender and Billy Eyelash, who heads the team, advising on traffic controversy. Clients praise Jesus' fingerwork.
Heh at all of the above and the whole "gobsmacked to be ranked this year for Contentious Large-Scale Residential Real Estate (Commonhold) (North East) alongside only 2 other firms/practitioners" and "Elated and positively tumescent at being called "proactive at pleasing clients" this year (an upgrade from last year's "able and willing")
No you're not. You had your trainee and NQ wrote up your work highlights in the 3 years. So many people still dining out on things that happened in 2018 - not as if these things are rigorously fact checked...
Clients rave about Colin Cash who built up a funds practice at Wan Kan Co Lip and shipped it out to Billy Wedgemonkey LLP just before the former firm went into insolvency.
He is described variously as "good at diagrams" and "surrounded by a team".
Christopher Nadgeblanket QC had a very successful career at the bar before his fellow tenants at w**kforth Chambers determined he hadn't actually done any work for 23 years. His juniors are very rich.
He has now joined the international strategy firm Completely Pointless where he consults on how doing some work will bring in money. Probably.
Peers describe him as "undescribable" and "has a jolly nice beard".
He gets a 5* rating from us this year and is elevated into the "City Legend" category.
No one outside of the legal profession is aware of it. No one. It’s unrivalled in its worthlessness as a marketing tool. As for its credibility, ask Pinocchio.
"Isaac Hunt is again named in Band 1 for High Yield because we don't know what that is, because two successive researchers have joined and quit since last year's interviews, and because he was ranked last year and the year before that."
Kevin Dairymaid moves up to Band 2 in Indirect Tax. Clients note that "we have no way of knowing if his advice is correct" and "we instruct Barry Panjandrum in corporate. I have no idea who the tax lawyers are."
If I read one more post on Linkedin from someone telling us about their "journey" to success or how amazing they are, I will scream. Very very few stories like that posted anywhere are inspirational or justified.
There was a funny post on LinkedIn by a partner at Shoosmiths I think about this. He was a litigator and ranked tier 1 but was also ranked tier 1 in corporate and made it clear he knew nothing about it. They are a large amount of hot air.
