From: Trainee Liaison Committee Rep HR would like this to be addressed asap so they don't have to have uncomfortable discussions with individuals about it, especially as we're now getting into summer and are more likely to be wearing less as it gets hotter! Many thanks and kind regards, Trainee Solicitor Liaison Committee Rep |
Sadly April Fool's day was last week, and this email was meant to be taken seriously. Trainees say that the complaints were apparently made by some of the firm's senior partners, presumably on the grounds that they have an issue with anyone who still has their own teeth, hair and a functioning sex life.
A partner and a trainee - how it should look |
A spokesman for the firm said "the sartorial elegance of A&O's trainees has been well known for many years. However, it seemed a good idea to suggest the gentle application of a little common sense when deciding what to wear to work in the morning as we want our clients to remember what they say not what they wear."
