How many years have you worked in BigLaw? Do you have regular client contact? Targeting large companies with dedicated in house M&A teams would be a good starting point. If you have an industry focus, I’d start by looking into that.

Daemon just meekly listening to his brother after those theatrics/heroics in the previous episodes? The king suddenly realizing with perfect clarity how he’s been manipulated by his hand?).
