A leaving party for a Debevoise & Plimpton lawyer has not gone well, with one member of staff chucking up and rumours of another being knocked unconscious.
The party was held at the Pacific Oriental bar on Threadneedle Street. An insider said that the attendees were completely smashed, and behaved sufficiently badly for the bar staff to ask them repeatedly to calm down. And one member of the Debevoise team was so wrecked that he threw up on the entrance steps.
A spokesman for the restaurant told RollOnFriday that another Debevoise staffer was so drunk that she tripped up and went sprawling over the floor and the restaurant was apparently concerned enough about her state that it called an ambulance.
A spokeswoman for the firm said that someone had indeed been "unwell" at the party, but wouldn't go into details.
