Canadian Firm Opens New Office in Second Life
According to today’s Vancouver Sun and the Globe and Mail Davis & Co has just opened its latest office:
In a cobbled street in Zurich across from a newsstand and conveniently located near a rapid transit line, although most visitors would likely teleport in rather than take transit.
Up the slate-looking steps, the door opens onto a large lobby with a large round reception desk and the requisite office ferns. A notecard on the desk welcomes the visitor: “Davis LLP is an international full-service law firm”.
The lawyers involved include Dani Lemon, colleagues Sarah Dale-Harris, known as BarristerSolicitor Underwood online; Pablo Guzman, or PabloGuzman Little; Chris Bennett, known as IPand Teichmann, David Spratley, known as DaveS Blackadder and Chris Metcalfe, whose avatar is dubbed IP Maximus.
The opening had been rumoured in a Lawyer’s Weekly article
Here are some images of what the visitors encounter.

I suppose that, in light of the SCC decision on its small problem, Davis decided it could now afford the cost of opening an office in another country.
Looks like a very promising trend. Thank you for posting that!
