Good day. This trip has been going extraordinarily well. 3D
may be another issue but will recap once it is all said and done. Mike managed
to arrive today after all principle meetings were executed. Long story but I
will back brief when I get back. More importantly I was able to meet a young
lady who works for one of the top law firms in Dubai. To put that into context
Hashimy has a contract default of an estimated 750k and that was said to fall
below their threshold requirement. I met with the managing partner today to
discuss a strategic partnership. He was very excited and interested. In fact…as
luck would have it they have been searching for a US partner. They had apparently
been dealing with a top New York firm who apparently just folded which created
some significant issues for them as it related to clients. I indicated that we
had an interest in growing our practice. They are apparently having a meeting
in Australia with strategic partners from around the world to focus on this
very issue. He requested some information about the firm and is interested in
our attendance. Their entry level billable rate is 650 an hour. They liked
the idea that we were focused on a federal practice and a small committed firm focused
on quality and customer service. I proffered that our model provides us the
flexibility and agility to resolve issues as they present themselves. I
suppose I am rambling on…but I believe there is a real opportunity to grab some
accounts that will be valued in the millions of dollars and either internalize
the work or enter into more formal referral arrangements with firms that can
provide access to the required competencies such as Jackson and Campbell. More to follow. V/r E -- Suite
