HM Histories : Sam Butler At Manchester – Fences Up, Wages Down
Sam Butler at Manchester takes HM Histories out of DLA Piper’s billing empire and into the University of Manchester’s in-house
HM Histories follows the career paths of Horsfield Menzies partners and lawyers, examining the employers behind their professional biographies. Simon Horsfield, Angus Menzies, Daniel Rubin, Laura McLellan and Sam Butler provide the routes. TCAP investigates the institutions along the way: their public records, employment disputes, court judgments, regulatory troubles and corporate controversies. The prestigious names on a CV deserve more scrutiny than a respectful nod.
Each chapter starts with a verified career connection and examines the employer behind it. From discriminatory retirement policies to acquisition-driven job losses and courtroom cock-ups, HM Histories puts institutional reputation beside documented conduct. Meanwhile, the corporate biographies continue selling experience, expertise and reassuring pedigree. We follow those claims back through the firms that supplied them and investigate what the promotional copy leaves out. A polished career history can introduce the employer. It can also introduce the employer’s bullshit.
