London-based firm Kingsford Stacey Blackwell entertained guests at a sweltering Lincoln's Inn bash last week with a short film outlining the firm's history and culture.

It proudly proclaimed that the practice was founded - under a name unlike its present one - in the heady age of the American and French revolutions.

Born in subversive times, the firm has clearly not lost its edgy touch.

Half an hour into its spiel - guests were by this stage enjoying the white wine - it struck a revolutionary blow by announcing that Kingsford Stacey Blackwell is changing its name to KSB Law.

Move over Marx.
