Among the 191 floats on display in Saturday's Mardi Gras Parade in Sydney was one run by 80 people unaccustomed to dancing in their day jobs – a group of corporate lawyers.

Big six firm MinterEllison, which has been the Mardi Gras' legal partner pro-bono for more than 20 years, became the first top law firm to participate in the parade with its justice-themed float.
