Stephenson Harwood has 'fessed up to accidentally promoting a competitor law firm on its website.
The firm's Maritime Team features a "dedicated telephone number" for "major casualties and disasters". The only problem is that the number it had listed for years belonged to Reed Smith. Which might explain why the Stephenson Harwood phone wasn't ringing off the hook...
Apparently the mistake was only spotted on Wednesday, and the page was hastily amended to include the Head of Department's mobile number.
A spokesman for the firm said that the whole incident "was a bit embarrassing, and has been fixed after a collective walk the plank moment".
