Goodwin’s summer party ended on a bum note this year when a partner found a poo in the corridor. Newly qualified solicitors at the US firm's London office, opposite St Paul’s Cathedral, are paid a staggering £175k, while RollOnFriday's leaked pay scale shows 3PQE lawyers earn a base salary of £240k. But staff told ROF one person appeared to be very dissatisfied when, “On the day of the Goodwin summer party, a pile of shit was discovered in the corridor”. A partner was the first to discover the stool, before the maintenance team showed up “and buried it in cleaning chemicals”. An Ashfords solicitor struck at his summer party in 2022, defecating around a Premier Inn, while earlier this year Co-Op Legal indicated it had dealt severely with a malevolent toilet vandal.
