The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
Maybe she is doing one of those "How To Lose All My Clients In 10 Days" magazine pieces.
IANAL.
Some day I'd love to have my country back.
It's possible that the copyright in the images belongs to the photographer but it's much more likely they were works for hire and belong to the firm.
As for fair use, the purpose of the reproduction is just one of four criteria for fair use; another one is how extensive the reproduction is, in this case the whole work. I find it hard to believe that this is acceptable fair use of a copyrighted photograph; as I said before, that would mean that any publication - a newspaper, a website, a blog - that "reports" on anything can use any copyrighted picture that relates to the text. That sounds implausible to me. Again, IANAL.
If the firm does hold the copyright to the photographs they should be scorned, not commended, for failing to use the one claim where they had a chance.
