I’m sure there’s a law against this, but – being lawyers – I suppose they’ve checked the legality of it all.

Client fronts up, sees the name “Dominiak” and thinks “Hmmm, foreigner. Not quite sure”

“Oh, GERMAN Dominiak. A LOCAL. That’s OK then”
The chappy at the bottom of the list has his own problems, of course.
Folks turn up in his office, bowing and curtseying, thinking he has regal connections or similar….
