We have tentatively planned for two partners from the Chicago law firm of
Sidley & Austin to come visit us in our offices on Friday, Aug. 11 and to give a presentation. I say "tentatively" because I have not yet been able to confirm Mark Haedicke's availability on that date -- I will try to do that as soon as possible. I would expect the presentation to take 1 to 2 hours -- I'm sure it could take longer if we wanted it to, i.e., if there turned out to be some matters that we wanted to discuss in further detail with them. I think a morning meeting would suit most people's availability better than an afternoon one; please share your thoughts on this with me. Enclosed is a rough outline of an agenda I have suggested to them for their presentation. If there are other matters you would like to hear them discuss, I encourage you to let me know; I will pass all suggestions along to them. As most of you probably know, attorneys have a duty of strict confidentiality to their clients, and this duty attaches from the moment a consultation begins (regardless of whether a formal "engagement" has commenced). Violation of this duty is grounds for disciplinary action by the governing bar association. On the other hand, I realize that we do not have an established relationship with this firm or these lawyers. All of that being said, I will leave it to each of you as to your comfort level in asking particular questions or sharing particular information.
