| Kirkland & Ellis to Go Ahead With Plaza Party Tonight |
|
Legal blog Above the Law has details about tonight's Kirkland & Ellis holiday party at the Plaza, and it sounds like a pretty lavish affair. A memo sent out earlier this week to staffers at the firm's New York headquarters in the Citigroup Center went into particular detail about the storied venue and what the expected 530 guests would see.
"Our party occupies three of the most famous rooms: The Palm Court, the Terrace Room, and the Terrace Room Foyer," reads the memo. "Unlike previous years, the entire party space will be open from start to finish. Drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres will be served at 6:00 p.m., the buffets will open at 7:00 p.m., with the skit, raffle, and employee recognition award being presented around 7:30 p.m."
Above the Law notes that the party seems "discordant with the times." And if much of the staff feels the same as one Kirkland & Ellis tipster, the rationale for the event may be called into question if end-of-year bonuses suffer.
