Grin and bear it
Posted 27/06/2007 by The Daily Diary
Everyone knows it’s getting harder to make partner these days, so those who want to make the grade need to display a little extra dedication and ingenuity to get ahead of the competition. Aspiring lawyers could certainly learn from the example of one (very) high-profile magic circle dealmaker, who many moons ago refused to let a minor inconvenience like a broken front tooth ruin an early-morning job interview.
Enlisting the steady hands of his then-flatmate, said partner literally superglued the broken bits of his tooth back together before advancing to his interview and on up the career ladder.
Luckily, many firms now have their own in-house dentists, meaning the only gaps that need filling are cavities in teeth rather than crocked lawyers’ empty desks.
Now, spit!
