GONG

Tooting your own horn, ringing your own bell...We've decided to bang our own gong.  

Welcome the newest fixture to the Alerding Castor Hewitt office, the official New Client/Wrapped Mediation Gong.

The litigation and transaction teams didn't have a celebration worthy of new business, so partner Michael Alerding came to me with the idea to buy a ship's bell to ring for each new project.  Being the orchestra nerd that I am -cello though, not percussion- I suggested a gong, and here we are today, proud owners of a 12" Zildjian Traditional Gong.

The mediation team will implement the new gong into their already-standing tradition of shouting "Boomshakalaka" after each session is successfully wrapped.  Hey, what's life in a business law firm without a little fun?

Will your new business be the next reason we strike the gong?
