Is it a breach of duty of loyalty for a partner to accept an offer to move but wait to give notice (bc start date is better if in the future a bit more), if no client notifications or anything occurs until after notice is given or transition occurs, etc.?

I’m not seeing any breach without more. If there were, it would basically prohibit any partner for making any plans to move on.

If anything, it is the other way around— you can’t let clients know your departure before notifying your partners. The clients are firm clients — they can choose to stay with the firm (and firms often try to keep them especially if non-departing lawyers served them) or go with the departing partner. It would be breach of their fiduciary duty for the departing partner to notify clients before giving notice to the firm.

No

Nope

Hi Fishes,

Do these 2 points in the JD allude to modelling requirements?

• Prepare transaction specific and marketing materials (teasers, information memorandum, pitch books, corporate profiles, and industry data and analyses)

• Perform in-depth company and industry research supporting specific client engagements and marketing opportunities

Has anyone received equity as contingency comp? I have a potential client with a founders dispute. He doesn’t have cash, and the other founder ripped him off and is now running the company.

It seems to me very few TC’s are professionals in HR with any background, training or certifications in HR.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

BTC question.

Less than 3 million BTC left to be mined. What happens to the value of BTC once all 21 million are mined? If it’s not really an efficient payment medium, then is there a max value based on the supply/demand? To clarify, once the supply limit is reached what dictates that btc will continue increasing in value if demand should remain the same (as it’s not a practical payment medium)? Furthermore, is there a way to calculate the approx value of BTC demand once max supply is reached?
