A magnificent romp through London's legal world of the noughties, Bugle and Yarrington is a humorous satire on the many absurdities of the profession. James James, the absolutely fictional character who in no way resembles the author, finds himself unexpectedly promoted to partner in Mayfair firm Bugle & Yarrington. Considering James divides his time between wondering why he became a lawyer in the first place and contemplating how he can meet and bed attractive women, news of his promotion comes as rather a surprise.
