The team at Fodens Solicitors, based on Lawley Drive off the Ketley Dingle Interchange, has come up with a seasonal advertising board to add a bit of fun to their work and provide residents and clients with a laugh.
Founder and director, Steven Foden came up with the idea and tasks staff to come up with a light-hearted joke.
The solicitors firm produces a new billboard for the likes of Christmas, Easter and other seasonal events, and produced one for the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in 2023.
Fodens Solicitors' billboard centred around Valentine's Day reads: "Roses are red, violets are blue, we want to litigate, and sue do you."
And, the billboard, featuring spin on and nod to a classic Valentine's Day poem has certainly captured the attention of passers-by.
Director at Fodens Solicitors, Sophie Price said: "We have run it for some time, there have been lots of different things on there from the coronation to Christmas, we try and keep it quite seasonal.
"Steven would say that law can be quite stuffy, with solicitors, traditionally people have a bit of an opinion about them, and we are just trying to promote the fact that Fodens isn't like that.
"We want to make it clear that we are here for people to talk to, that we are approachable and try and bring a bit of light humour to quite a dry subject. It is quite tough because we are dealing with clients at some of the most difficult moments in their life, so if we try and make that a bit more gentle and softer."
The Telford solicitors firm celebrated its 25th anniversary last year after being established in 1999, and prides itself on specialising 'in all matters property related'.
Sophie added to 'watch this space' as the firm's billboard will be changing soon and have its latest seasonal message.
Ideas will be thrown around for their next humorous message before founder Steven will decide on the best.
"I think it is great fun and adds some light-hearted humour. I think generally they are entertaining.
"I would say our next one will be something Easter related."
