Recruitment companies Burgess Paluch and Kaleidoscope Legal Recruitment decided to show a film that a lot of lawyers could relate to at their recent clients’ movie night – The Hangover Part III.
Kidnap plots, trips to Mexico and swinging out of the Caesar’s Palace sign in Las Vegas – sounds like a regular weekend to Folklaw.
The “low-key mixer” at Hoyts Cinemas in Melbourne Central on 29 May was attended by around 300 people – including law firm partners, HR managers, lawyers and legal secretaries.
Among the firms and companies whose staff were enjoying free drinks, schmoozing and tasteful cinema on the night were: Moray and Agnew; HWL Ebsworth; Madgwicks; Herbert Smith Freehills; Minter Ellison; Maddocks; Herbert Geer; Gilbert + Tobin; QBE; Wesfarmers Insurance, CGU and barristers from the Victorian Bar.
The recruitment companies run these movies nights a couple of times a year and previous films that have been shown include James Bond and Wall Street.
“This time we picked something that was a bit kind of silly to get people to have a laugh, get out of the office and move away from the demands and stress of practice and just ... enjoy it,” said Burgess.
Free drinks, popcorn and choc tops – Folklaw is just upset we weren’t invited...
