An early candidate for the firm with the most unlikely client award 2005 must surely be those slick folk at Olswang, which bills itself as 'one of Europe's leading law firms in the areas of tele-communications, media, technology and property'. So who have they been trumpeting their work for? The National Farmers Union. Thankfully order was restored with the next press release, with the firm revelling in the fact that it 'acts for Golden Globe winners and Oscar and BAFTA nominees' such as 'Vera Drake', 'Closer' (pictured) and 'Phantom of the Opera'. That's more like it.
