Inspired by the success of animated hits like Frozen and Toy Story, Middle East-based firm The Rights Lawyers has filled the obvious gap in the market and made a cartoon about a client retaining a solicitor.
The story, certain to delight young and old alike, begins by advising viewers to watch the adventure on a high-resolution screen. It's easy to see why.
The image of a figure framed against the desert sun cuts to a close up of their head, as they ring a person in an office and 'speak', although the sound effect is of someone drowning.
The man is revealed to be a sweating bruiser who has escaped from The Mikado, surely destined to replace Woody and Buzz in children's hearts. He hangs up the phone.
In a climax only a lawyer would consider appropriate, the thrilling adventure ends with a file note being typed up which explains what has just happened. For not entirely obvious reasons, it is written in the style of a detective novel.
Potential clients who haven't turned off their computer and instructed a different law firm are then taken to a virtual representation of The Right Lawyers' office, where they can click on tabs at the bottom of the screen to learn more about what it's like to be a solicitor who thinks they're a private eye.
There's also a portrait of The Rights Lawyers. On the upside, they are blessed with very smooth skin. On the downside, they don't have noses.
If you've seen a law firm website that deserves an A for effort but WTF for achievement, let us know.
Tip Off ROF

With experience in the Middle East since the mid 1990s, he has led therightslawyers, the Middle East's first and only boutique media, intellectual property and technology law firm, since 1993.
As he arrived in Dubai from the Uk in c.2000 and was a partner with one of the international firms for at least 18 months before setting up the Rights Lawyers it seems it might not only be fictional characters who need to get less sun.
