It's the last bit that gives away that it was really Barnes' trainee who said it |

Gareth was given a free rein to draft the most exciting quote about himself |
However, by ignoring the legal directories, the "career & recognition" paths for some of the partners have been left tragically blank:
Note to the marketing team: strike out the word "Recognition" |

1998 to 2016 - the barren years. Not even an office quiz victory |
However Andrew Dobson, the Head of Gowling's Singapore office, has gone against the grain by sticking his neck out and opting for a quote from an outside source. Although it happens to be the Sunday People. From 1998:
(c) The Sunday People (a UK Sunday newspaper), 1998 |
And for the benefit of Gowlings' Singaporean clients, here's a recent example of the Sunday People's incisive legal analysis:
RollOnFriday contacted Dobson about his profile, and he said "It's certainly an old quote but it's one I like, particularly because it's not your normal directory one which all get a bit samey. It came out of the work on behalf of the Estate of Diana, Princess of Wales and again I am proud of the body of work done for the trustees. I would mention in passing that that brush with the tabloids did make me lose a bit of faith in the legal press which did not hesitate to provide the red tops with my photo when I thought they may be on our side. I suppose not many lawyers get quoted in the Sunday People although I suspect my mother may have been the only reader."
Well batted Dobson, and you can quote RollOnFriday on that.
