Mr. Loophole trademarks his nickname

The British "celebrity lawyer" Mick Freeman has trademarked his 'Mr Loophole' nickname to prevent other lawyers from using it. He was branded Mr Loophole in the British press after helping a string of celebrities—including Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Jeremy Clarkson and Wayne Rooney—dodge drunk driving convictions. Mr Freeman, from Mere, Cheshire, warned other lawyers who might try to cash in on his nickname. "If anyone attempts to use the name, legal action can be taken.'

Gwent Police arrested him on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice two years ago, but no charges were ever brought.
