very simple

sad, sad news. The law firm where I got my start is officially dissolving. Sure, a group of us left a few years ago for greener pastures, but Thelen (or, really, to those of us who were around long enough in NY, Reid & Priest) was a really nice place to work. Heck, the people I work with now are the same ones I work with then – we essentially just switched offices (my boss would say that the era actually ended when Reid & Priest merged with Thelen Marrin, but the New York office remained largely intact at that point and day-to-day life was just about the same). Here’s hoping that the utility and energy folks that are still there land on their feet at another firm, and that someone steals the (really heavy) bronze bust of A.J. Priest before the doors get locked.
