Law firm in innovative staff incentive scheme shock: yes, it's true - law firms can be the best kind of employers, as this picture from Chesterfield firm CS2 shows.

The firm runs quarterly best employee awards and also names an employee of the year, all of which has been good news for personal injury litigation executive Paul Chapman (pictured right with partner Iain Burns), who has followed up a quarterly award (which saw him win a trip to Paris) with the annual gong, for which he was rewarded with a weekend for two in New York.

'It gives us something extra to strive for but we all work as a team so the competitiveness is always in good spirit,' Mr Chapman said, while knives rained in on his back.
