DWF's Leeds office has been shut down after a catastrophic power loss yesterday.

A lawyer at another firm was surprised to receive the following reply, after emailing a DWF partner:
 
From: DWF Partner
Date: 2nd July 2009
To: Lawyer
Subject: Deal

We have had a catastrophic power loss here. Leeds office is out of action until monday/tuesday next week [as is the rest of the West Wing of the building]

Mobile still works - but the email has been down until 11am today

We have moved most people over to Manchester office now. However have been unable to progress anything on this since yesterday morning

Partner

Until next Tuesday?? A spokeswoman for the firm said "we can confirm that the West wing of Bridgewater Place, managed by Jones Lang LaSalle, suffered a power loss yesterday which is likely to be resolved by this evening and tested over the next 72 hours. We are fully up and running and all our people are now either working from home or at other offices and plan to be back in the building early next week (probably Monday).”
