Any lawyers in structured finance/project finance have any good recommendations on resources to gain a general understanding of the business side of things? Obviously varies by industry/sector but trying to gain more of a business understanding.

If you’re in the infrastructure / PPP space then the P3 bulletin is a great resource to stay current on market trends etc. Otherwise generally speaking for all projects and sectors your best bet are sources like inframation / infralogic, IJGlobal etc. Also general googling will give you lots of opinion pieces and articles written by biglaw practitioners.

Thank you!

Do you mean on the projects being developed? Would certainly vary a lot by industry. Whether you are financing energy development projects, infrastructure, mining, building airplanes, etc—-the “business side” will be different for each, depending on what you mean by the business side. Or do you mean more generally, like how the income of a project is used to repay the financing?

The latter so more so in terms of the general structuring. Not expecting to become an expert in one industry or another but would like to build the knowledge base on the financing portion (rather than legal).

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
