North London divorce lawyer Jeremy Freedman has suffered the indignity of having his beloved ponytail, which he has been growing for the past three years, removed. However, the chop - administered by celebrity West End crimper Neville Tucker with what looks suspiciously like a pair of garden shears - did raise some £15,000 for his favourite charity, HGSS Friends of Lvov, which raises funds to support the Jewish community in the western Ukraine city. However, this set our minds thinking and so the search for the (male) lawyer with the longest hair has begun. Entries with supporting evidence please to gazette-editorial@lawsociety.org.uk.
