Brexit – The Morning After the Night Before…

We now know what the eye of a storm feels like… Cameron resigns and will be gone in October; Sterling fell 10 % and is slowly picking itself up off the canvas; UK is still in Europe but may not be in the EU in due course. The UK may in the future no longer be the United Kingdom and there are calls for another Scottish independence referendum and a movement to unite Ireland and Northern Ireland under the Good Friday agreement. What does this all mean? What happens next?

V&E, Baker Botts Break IPO Dry Spell

Since the capital markets dried up last July after the lingering low oil prices finally took their toll, equity and debt offerings became few and far between. Witnessing an initial public offering by an energy company in these times is comparable to seeing a unicorn.

  • My Five Favorite Books: Allison Cook (Partner at Reese Marketos) - When I started practicing law, reading for pleasure took on another hurdle: I was intellectually intimidated. I assumed all lawyers were reading the likes of Kafka, Proust, and Tolstoy for fun. And after spending my days reading case law and briefs, the last thing I wanted to do was crack open Anna Karenina. So I simply didn’t read anything.

    Now I confidently crack open yet another Frieda McFadden thriller next to my insanely intellectually curious husband, who is reading yet another Dostoevsky book. Ten years ago, that might have made me self-conscious. Now it just makes me laugh.
