Inside Biglaw's Most Over-The-Top Holiday Competition - Above the Law
"Perched at the end of a runway in the firm's lobby conference room, watching well over 100 of the firm's lawyers and staff either crowd into the room or poke their heads in from the standing room overflow in the hall, it becomes abundantly clear that, at this point, calling this an "ugly sweater contest" is like calling the Super Bowl a "football game." Technically accurate, but unable to capture the proceedings."
"Partner Steve Nadel once again helmed the proceedings, informing the judges that multiple competitors had privately assured him that they were confident that they would win this year. The confidence wasn't misplaced, with banger after banger of themed productions: a tribute to Christmas Vacation, a fully committed Whoville encounter complete with Grinch, and a Holiday Culkin Mashup weaving together Home Alone and Succession."
Seward & Kissel's annual ugly sweater contest transformed into an elaborate costume pageant featuring themed floor entries, coordinated performances, and literal floats. More than 100 lawyers and staff packed a lobby conference room with overflow in the hall to watch runway presentations judged by a panel. Partner Steve Nadel led the event as floors staged ambitious productions including a tribute to Christmas Vacation, a Whoville encounter with a Grinch, and a Holiday Culkin Mashup combining Home Alone and Succession. The 19th floor won with a Peanuts tribute that rolled a Schroeder on a makeshift float playing a miniature red piano.
