Plaques
UK-based lawyers have been blitzed in recent weeks with requests to purchase individual plaques touting their inclusion in the UK directory. Chambers has sold plaques and rather more elegant awards trophies for a number of years, but it seems that individual plaques are being pushed more heavily than in the past. I couldn’t possibly comment on the quality and value for money of such items, but RollOnFriday has a range of opinions here.
