Well respected?
// Lord Justice Christopher Clarke's cost judgment in Excalibur Ventures v Texas Keystone and others [2013] is out. To precis the most interesting points, the implication of the judgment is that Clifford Chance (CC) has, for its clients:
◾ aggressively pursued serious and wide-ranging allegations of dishonesty or impropriety;
◾ without any apparent foundation in the documentary evidence for those allegations;
◾ courted publicity for those allegations both before and during the trial;
◾ pursuing a claim which was irreconcilable with the evidence.
I have been spared sight of much of the 5,000 pages of inter solicitor correspondence. It is apparent to me, however, from what I have seen that some of the correspondence from Clifford Chance has been voluminous and interminable, in some circumstances highly aggressive and in others unacceptable in content. These have included ill-founded allegations of criminal conduct in the form of insider dealing, misleading the market and misleading the public about the relationship between Gulf and Texas. Whilst interminable and heavy-handed correspondence is becoming a perverse feature in some commercial litigation, it is not in any way to be accepted as a norm and parties whose solicitors engage in it should not be surprised if, in a case such as this, they end up paying the costs on an indemnity scale. //

Blackadder, you were right the first time. Regardless of Gromit's post, Clifford Chance is a very highly respected company. This man’s actions won’t bring the company into disrepute – he just might not be the clients’ first choice once he’s qualified. In fact, despite what his employers say in response to his video now, it wouldn’t surprise me if he and they very soon quietly and unobtrusively part company.
Kuffar/kaffir. What's in a name?
I suppose it depends who's doing the shouting when deciding whether words are acceptable.
I'm confident that Police Scotland (Zealot Squad) would arrange free accomodation for me if I was to rant online with even a hint of disappointment with the attitude of certain residents of this country.
Seems a bit of a racist to me though.
