Lawyers who specialise in media and entertainment law have to swallow hard and pay central London property rates, which is exactly what Clintons has done with its Covent Garden offices.

Doubtless it reaps dividends, being wedged between Soho and Holborn, as the firm’s clients are not likely to want to wander too far from J Sheekey’s or the Ivy for meetings.

In addition to entertainment, digital media and work in other creative industries, the firm also offers family and property services so that its celebrity clients do not have to be referred elsewhere when marriages go south.

Clintons jumped into the public consciousness in 2019 when it was instructed by the Duke of Sussex. Before jetting off for a new life on Malibu Beach, Prince Harry brought a phone-hacking claim against the defunct News of the World, The Sun and the Daily Mirror. It was a solid choice — Clintons had past experience of bringing phone-hacking claims.
