Packing a punchAs if law firms are not glamourous enough already, they now seem to be the location of choice for 'resting' actresses.

Henrietta Nelson, who works as a receptionist at blue chip Citylaw firm Macfarlanes, has been given a starring role in the current poster campaign for recruitment specialists monster.co.uk (below) - presumably she learnt that air of ruthlessness at her current employer.

Ms Nelson's previous appearances include being an alien in an Italian menswear advertisement and as a pregnant inmate in the television series 'Bad Girls'.

She is leaving Macfarlanes in August to take a place at drama school.

Proving that he has no future himself in the entertainment industry, senior partner Robert Sutton said that, while the firm was looking good and boasted some model employees, he did not expect the rest of the lawyers and staff to follow in Ms Nelson's footsteps.
