Is a Law Firm Having Too Much Fun With Birthday Infographics? Asks FT

OK, by now, we've all digested that Davis Polk report from a couple weeks ago about how far behind the regulators are on Dodd-Frank rulemaking.

Maybe the media ripples take a little longer to get across to the pond to the Financial Times, but FT’s Alphaville blog makes up for it by celebrating the two-year birthday of the legislation with some humor.

In sum: they love this graphic from the Davis Polk and suggest that the law firm might earn the designation of being a "Systemically Important Finance Illustrator." 

"In order to continue with this work, Davis Polk, especially if designated as a SIFI, must demonstrate to regulators that such infographics are correlated with the firm's legal work," writes FT.
