Blake Morgan was embarrassed this week when visitors trying to access its new website were presented with the site for a golf course.
The firm had rebranded following the merger between Morgan Cole and Blake Lapthorne and top of the list was a spanking new website. But hapless IT workers unveiled the wrong one and anyone visiting www.blakemorgan.co.uk via a secure connection was greeted with an offer of membership for Hever Castle Golf Club in Kent.
The red-faced firm fixed the glitch after being asked about it by RollOnFriday. Visitors now get the standard issue site, i.e. thrusting young lawyers and a logo which resembles a cross between the military flag of Japan and a cat's bum*.
It's unclear why Blake Morgan thought visitors would prefer a virtual tour of a golf club. Maybe someone agreed with Hever Castle that its "setting alone is inspiration enough". RollOnFriday's caddy has the following recommendations:
A spokewoman for Blake Morgan said “This was the result of a web server configuration issue which has now been rectified. The URL in question was neither published nor promoted externally and no client information has been affected or compromised”.
*The logo is remarkably similar to Herbert Smith Freehill's own feline sphincter, which is proving to be an inexplicably popular design template within the legal world.

Blake Morgan: |
"One of the longest holes in Europe, the 644 yard Par 5 seventeenth hole certainly stands out." | "In its briefing note 'Section 31(6): What's in it for you?' Blake Morgan highlights the processes laid down under Section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980. If you get stuck here, use a sand wedge on yourself." |
"The delightful short sixth and eighth holes on the front nine are both played over water." | "With offices as far-flung as Swansea and Portsmouth, a golf cart makes a sound investment." |
"A wonderful blend of hazards from tight tree-lined fairways to beautifully-presented water hazards." | "If you're lucky you might find a dead mouse in your drawer." |
