WP:ADVERT. Fails notability. There is one Times Online article that briefly talks up this company, and their name is mentioned in a bare handful of news articles reporting particular legal cases, but none give enough reason for notability.

 * Delete. I couldn't find coverage via Google News or Google Books either. tedder (talk) 00:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The Times Online article is sufficient for notability. One really good source is enough.DGG (talk) 05:04, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as this article is little more than a public relations exercise. A mere metention in two news stories is not evividence of notability. There is no significant coverage to indicate that this firm of solicitors has participated in a notable court cases, nor has it any notable staff or partners, nor is the firm itself notable in any way (size, history, development, campaigning or research), and falls well short of the requirements of WP:CORP. Articles based purely on news coverage fall outside the scope of Wikipedia, especially news stories which are promotional in tone and content. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 10:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The Times Online article doesn't really provide significant coverage IMO, it just cheers them for having a cute name and a nice looking webiste. Other than that, fails WP:ORG. Ray  Talk 21:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Found two articles of coverage relating via Google News. Notable with respect to its specialist and unique field of practice in serving an often misuderstood and maligned group of road users. To quote WP:ORG "Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information...smaller organizations can be notable...arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations" Motorbike1 (talk) 11:21, 05 August 2009 (GMT)
