Hard on the heels of The Diary’s revelation last week that Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer will not be sharing its new City annexe with a lap dancing club after all, comes news of a further, more permanent brush with the racier side of life – this time in Frankfurt.

As we reported last week, partners at the firm’s City office are still coming to terms with the fact the firm will be sharing its new premises at the back of its Fleet Street HQ with a sushi bar rather than a strip club.
