It is always refreshing to receive something other than the standard head-and-shoulders shot to mark a new recruit, and Warwickshire firm Blythe Liggins has good reason to send this picture of solicitor Jacqui Fulton with her horse, Marlando (senior partner Patrick Riley also pictured).

Ms Fulton, an equine lawyer by day, is one of British dressage's rising stars the rest of the time, and so she should fit in rather well at Blythe Liggins, which counts British Eventing among its clients.

No pressure, but we're counting on her to add to the select list of solicitors to win Olympic gold.

A profession expects.
