The world's best law firm disclaimer

My blog disclaimer is OK, and hopefully somewhat witty.

But if really you want to see something funny, at least by lawyer standards, click here. Patrick Lamb, another BigLaw refugee, started his own law firm a few months ago, and his website is now up and fully functional. I especially liked the crack about tax lawyers for the IRS Circular 230 disclosure.

I like his billing ideas. But most of my transactional clients like paying me by the hour. I hope this changes with time.

No, I am not starting to post regularly again....

...but when I have something to say I will write from time to time.  The problems at chains such as Sears, Penney, Best Buy (and maybe Target down the road) will bring on some interesting times, and may bring down a whole boatload of regional malls in the next few years. I expounded just a little on Elaine Misonzhnik's nicely-done story at my Facebook page .  Could this be the first domino for all kinds of other national retailers? I hope all is well with each of you!
