Hogan Lovells are getting a lot of press today...
Staff alerted to the sound of screaming at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel found the 61-year-old former partner in leading law firm Hogan Lovells wearing only a tiny leather thong, nipple clamps, other sexual paraphenalia, and with hot wax dripping down his chest.

That's no surprise bearing in mind the goings on in the 3rd floor Atlantic House "sleeping" pods.
