[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 40641, member: 2672"] Freshfields' As I understand it, its because when you prenounce it you say Fresh-fields, rather than Fresh-fields-es, so it [B]s'[/B]. In contrast, if you said the same for business, then you prenounce it business-es so it would be business's or [B]s's[/B] It's posts like this where I need Ben Staveley's faultless grammar book in front of me though, as I am never 100% sure without it! This is why I look it up on Chambers Student Guide though - they list it as Freshfields' (e.g. Freshfields' trainees). I think the general advice though is if you are ever unsure, just re-write the sentence... Freshfields' trainees get to pick up to eight seats Could be changed to any of the following: Trainees at Freshfields get to pick up to eight seats Trainees get to pick up to eight seats The firm's trainees get to pick up to eight seats [/QUOTE]
