Wright Hassall / Lustige Kanzleinamen

am 01.03.2006 von http://transblawg.eu

RollOnFriday recently had a competition for the best-named law firm.

The winner was a Chinese firm called Deep & Far, with no Messrs. Deep or Far in site.

Founding partner Mr. C. F.

Of counsel / Briefkopftitel

Transblawg / Some lawyers on the letterheads of American law firms, and increasingly of English ones too, are described as being ‘of counsel’. On a letterhead it usually means a senior lawyer who is semi-retired. (In England, that used to be consulta…

German names / Deutsche Namen

Transblawg / The site Echtename.de collects bizarre German names. It’s constantly being enlarged. Of the many categories, double names (Doppelnamen) is particularly interesting, because Germans oftn combine two surnames when they get married. # Sylvia Diens…
