A law firm has plagiarised its competitors' marketing, but did such a terrible job that it accidentally left in another firm's name.

Newport-based Collingbourne Hennah cribbed from at least four other firms to assemble its website. The introduction of its section on criminal law bears an uncanny resemblance to Kingsley Napley's site. Although, to be fair, Kingsley Napley clearly ripped off the A-Team:

Meanwhile, according to Irwin Mitchell, "it can be difficult to know where to turn" after poor medical care. The same is true of law firms trying to fill up their website. Collingbourne Hennah's solution was to turn to Irwin Mitchell.

Collingbourne Hennah lifted several chunks of puffery from Irwin Mitchell, but like a student trying to fool teacher, it nicked from multiple sources, including PI giant Slater & Gordon:

Collingbourne Hennah was caught out because its web gimps did such a negligent job of copy and pasting from Stuart Miller Solicitors that they left in the name of the firm. Which means that for the last six months a bizarre recommendation for Stuart Miller Solicitors has appeared in the middle of Collingbourne Hennah's site:


One of the few bits which doesn't appear to have pilfered is the firm's offer to - and RollOnFriday is guessing here - "operate shit" for clients:



When RollOnFriday brought the similarities to Collingbourne Hennah's attention, it yanked its site. Partner Nathan Hennah said, "I note your comments which I am investigating. The web site was recently constructed and most of the work in relation to this was outsourced. I have suspended our website pending review. We no longer in fact do any criminal work and have no criminal law department".

A spokeswoman for Slater & Gordon said it would be issuing a cease and desist letter.
