here are some ideas: 1. Reach out to your network and see if anybody wants to take an extended vacation and you can cover their hours, 2. see if your directors have a firm internal code you can hit, 3. Use this as a time to pick up a scale or brush off a skill to get yourself lined out for the next perfect project

Ask if there is any project than can add you during that time or ask if any new work is spinning up. We have new projects starting almost every week. There is a delayed project somewhere in your firm. Or an internal project?

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?
