United to celebrate legal transfer

'Join James Chapman & Co and have your photo taken with Giggsy.' That is the clever recruitment policy on show here, if this latest star-studded effort from the firm Manchester United calls 'our solicitors' is anything to go by.

Previously, the stream of photos from James Chapman - featuring the likes of Sir Alex, Becks, Veron et al - has at least been linked with work it has done for the club, but this time they've somehow roped in Ryan Giggs to publicise the transfer of sports lawyer Simon Cohen (right) from Davis Blank Furniss.

Mr Cohen is more of a rugby man, however, which is how he managed to get Charlie Hodgson to join the fun.

Also pictured is partner Mike Blood, who is following in the large footsteps of senior partner Maurice Watkins by mugging happily at any United-related photo op he can find.

It is worth noting that despite being drenched in football glamour, James Chapman is predominantly a defendant insurance practice; let's just hope the firm is better at defending than its illustrious client.
