Mort's men get naughty

Posted 2/06/2008 by The Daily Diary

The merger at the Minster Court offices of Dewy & LeBoeuf appears to be going even better than wily old chairman Mort Pierce might have dreamed.

The firm’s City sports and social committee has been in full swing ‘aligning’ those tricky cultural differences over a few glasses of wine, cheese-balls and pineapple chunks of late – with plenty of success. Indeed, The Diary hears how an email went round the US firm’s London digs after a recent love-in that may well have got a little too intimate.

“A pair of black gentleman's trousers, size 34 regular, have mysteriously found their way into office 12-03,” the missive revealed the morning after a recent bash. “Any claimants?”

As far as The Diary has heard, the trousers remain unclaimed. Meanwhile, rumours that uncompromising corporate big-hitter Camille Abousleiman has his terrified associates streaking down Mincing Lane in the name of team-bonding are, as yet, unconfirmed.
