After a testing week dealing with its Adelaide Festival sponsorship, MinterEllison chief executive Virginia Briggs will have her dancing shoes on as she leads the firm’s float in the Mardi Gras parade on Saturday night.

For the past week, the 75 Minters staff – Briggs included – from around Australia who will take part have been practising choreographed moves for the centrepiece of Mardi Gras and Sydney World Pride 2023.
