Blonde bombshells

Manchester firm Donns has proved itself occasionally adept at issuing press releases that have little point as such (last year there was a cheesy Charlie's Angels-style picture of three of its women partners with the sole aim of 'celebrating' the fact that Donns has a successful catastrophic injuries team).

This latest effort, entitled 'The female touch', highlights the make-up of Donns' partnership - nine of the 13 partners are women.

Managing partner Hilary Meredith (fourth left) tells us: 'At Donns we specialise in personal injury, an area of the legal profession which calls for great compassion and empathy' (skills men sadly lack, we presume).

And that is pretty much that for the substance of the release.

By the standards of the profession, Raymond Donn's firm does have a lot of women partners, but more interestingly, it must have the blondest partnership of all.

Even two of the three women partners with dark hair appear to have blonde highlights.

Expect a press release along these lines any day now.
