DLA’s Birmingham managing partner Chris Rawstron knows exactly how his firm is perceived in the Birmingham market – people keep reminding him.
Only a few weeks ago, he met with a senior Kidderminster-based accountant who asked him what he did. Rawstron’s explanation that he worked for DLA left the man confused. “Who are they? A law firm? Never heard of them,” he said. “Where did you work before?” “Edge Ellison,” said Rawstron. “Oh, Edges, of course I know Edges,” said the accountant. “Great firm.”
