A little teamwork, a little creativity and a lot of good food 🍴

Our lawyers and summer associates recently gathered at Sur La Table in Southlake for a hands-on cooking class. From learning new culinary skills to sharing a meal together, it was a great way to build connections and enjoy some summer fun outside the office.

Shaken, stirred and a little competitive 🍹🌞

Our office mixed things up with a cocktail/mocktail class led by Ernest Gantz of On My Way Bartending at Raleigh Union Station. After crafting hibiscus margaritas and cherry bourbons, lawyers and summer associates took in the downtown views from the rooftop garden before putting their skills to the test in a freestyle cocktail competition.

Cheers to Drew Patty, who was crowned the evening’s cocktail champion for his winning creation!
