Five things I learnt this year (and should have known already)
Young lawyers make their presence felt in the mediation room… Okay, I still think of myself as young. Like, I jog. I LOVE the latest Duffy album and Susan is forever telling me to grow up. And she would know if I had some left to do, wouldn’t she?
So why? Why did I not have a clue what this young lawyer meant when she passed me this note in mediation yesterday that said;
“Geoff, we nd a break sn. w’r concrnd bout whr dis S goin n nd 2 spk 2 d client. cn w’v @ lEst 1/2 an hour n cn u cum n 4t lst 10 mins? we’ll nd u 2 Xpln dis l8st dvlopmnt coz we ddnt Xpct 2hv 2 tlk bout it hre.”
