Continuing the Conrad O'Brien Phillies' celebration with an in-office pizza party. Our watch party brought the team luck in the NLCS so we had to bring the energy in anticipation of the World Series. Thanks to our firm members for wearing their red and the festive decorations. Go Phillies!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Conrad O'Brien. Our colleagues in the office today had fun getting in the green spirit and watching the start of the March Madness games over a pizza lunch. It has been nice to return to some of the "normalcy" this month and have a reason to be together to celebrate.
