Partners vs. Associates: A Halloween duel
The folks over at Hodes, Pessin & Katz like to get into the Halloween spirit every year with a pumpkin decorating contest.
This year, the firm’s litigation associates decided it would be a hoot to decorate pumpkins in the litigation partners’ likenesses with a litigation partner pumpkin patch.
What followed can only be described as revenge. When partner Patricia McHugh Lambert found out, she created an associate patch of her own, and the associates were not pleased.
Per associate Alex Moylan: “This is an annual tradition at HPK and we wanted to do something creative because our clients really enjoy seeing the pumpkins each year. We maintain the position that the revenge pumpkins submitted by the partners should not be considered, as they were submitted beyond the contest deadline.”
Take that, partners.
