Earlier this year, we reported the news that DLA Phillips Fox was chasing a full-merger with its offshore affiliate DLA Piper. The AFR broke the story in August 2009 that DLA Phillips Fox was seeking a formal merger with its international affiliate DLA Piper. Since that story, we published an exclusive report on how the Adelaide office of DLA Phillips Fox had become financially independent of the firm.
We then published another exclusive story on rumours that incoming DLA Phillips Fox Chief Executive Partner Tony Holland was essentially intending to slim the firm down to encourage the international integration with DLA Piper. In that post, the following was written:
Tony Holland wants to get rid of a heap of partners who are not in corporate or finance – ie turn Phillips Fox into another MSJ. Then, and only then, will Sir Nigel at DLA [Piper] give the nod to the full merger.
However, we now wonder whether DLAPH will still persist with a merger even if given the Piper’s approval, after the hilarious allegation on Friday that a Netherlands-based DLA Piper partner has such an appetite for hardcore interracial pornography, that he apparently carries a USB-stick of it on his person to the office.
According to our UK-based pals Roll on Friday:
The [DLA Piper] partner was giving a presentation at the office of Orangefield Trust, a major Dutch company. Unfortunately when he put his USB stick, which contained his presentation, into the laptop that Orangefield had provided, he discovered that it had an “autoplay” function. And the room was treated to an unstoppable slideshow of hardcore interracial porn.
The Firm Spy the received the following rumour from an anonymous tip from a DLA Piper spy on the weekend:
Re DLA Piper porn scandal reported by RoF, the interracial actress in question was apparently none other than actor Laurence Fishburne’s 19yo daughter, Montana, who recently announced her intention to embark on a “career” in porn.
Incredibly, it appears that the teenage daughter of the star of the Matrix Trilogy, Laurence Fishburn, is indeed throwing herself into the adult industry. But according to E-Online, Montana Fishburne’s debut feature film isn’t set for release until 18 August 2010. So if the rumour is true that the interracial porn forming part of the DLA Piper porn slideshow featured Montana Fishburne, the partner in question has certainly been doing his errr… homework.
On the topic of homework, we have since checked out the website for the Orangefield Trust (the company that was unwittingly forced to endure the porno show) and it contains the following cryptic message in a large font on the homepage:
Your Business
Our Care.
Perhaps the DLA Piper partner in question did his homework and thought that because his private “business” involved hardcore interracial porn, the Orangefield Trust might “care” to know about it?
