Free Information On Hot Topics; But What Is Missing?
In-house counsel and managers\directors understand that law firms have useful information that literally "sits" around law firms—used once or twice, and then forgotten or even misplaced by their lawyers (One of the dark secrets in the legal world is that law firms are horrible at the one thing they sell: knowledge and management of it).
In response to inquiries by clients on this topic, we've taken the step of putting our papers, presentations and speeches online so that our clients can logon, and then search the site (using key words or phrases), or simply explore a "folder" tree.
Instructions for you to access the site are located at the "client resources" tab on this blog (at the top of the page).
Yes, all of this is free. And to give you a quick peak at the materials on the site (as of April, 2010), here is a flier listing some of the materials on the site: [donwload]

- Maturity defaults
- Leasing issues in the current market.
