I was writing my previous post in a hurry. This you should not find surprising considering my situation coupled with the recent discovery of an unusual bit of code inside DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary pages. As a result of this I’ve made a serious mistake for which I want to apologise on my own accord. In that posting I somehow implied that Stelios Hadji-Ioannu could be superior, or could even own DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary. This is obviously wrong. After researching for some time on the Internet I came to realise that DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary is indeed an enormous legal conglomerate flying at such heights that Stelios with his low-flying easyJet can only dream of.
For those who are in the dark as I was just the day before here goes a brief resume of my discoveries about DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary mainly derived from their own website.
The most amazing fact is that this law firm is actually lead by no other than Senator George Mitchell.
Just for the record:
Senator George J. Mitchell was a US Senate Democratic majority leader for about six years (1989-1995) as well as a chairman if the Northern Ireland peace negotiating group in 1996-1998 and a chairman of an international fact-finding committee on violence in the Middle East that produced a recommendation, widely known as The Mitchell Report. In business he is a Partner and the Chairman of the Global Board and Co-Chair of the Government Controversies Practice Group in DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary, chairman of the board of the Walt Disney Company and serves on the board of Staples, Inc. etc, etc.
For more information see: DLA, Staples, Inc., Disney
The man of such high standing would have been made a Sir in Britain sometime at the very beginning of his career, something that Stelios can only aspire to and only in his dreams. Or perhaps I am wrong again. Considering that a head of a twin Virgin business empire, Richard Branson had been given a knighthood already, we may, just for the sake of symmetry, possibly see Sir Stelios in the nearest future (will I have to bow to or stand up in his presence then?).
But now back to business. Some may wonder why it is so scandalous that a law firm keeps a small piece of inoffensive programming code on its web pages. Where is the issue?
Let me explain. (more…)

? I doubt it. Most likely a typho, but the one that can cost a lot. I don’t want their typist to be fired - we are in the same boat, but the whole firm looks rather unprofessional to say the least.
