WANTED: Of counsel for growing Pittsburgh-based boutique business law firm. Must have at least 8 years of highest level federal Exec. Branch experience, world-wide connections, Yale Law degree, one year at Oxford, own money and people skills. Crowd-pleaser. Must be able to sell anything to anyone. And be originally from Hope, Arkansas. State government experience preferred but not required. Same for participation in Renaissance weekends, and fund-raising. United Nations experience also a big plus. You don’t need to re-locate. Happy to set up the office for you. Wherever you want. Harlem or Chappaqua, New York are okay. Or DC. You decide. You can work out of your house. Whatever. NOTE: No previous private law practice experience necessary. Not a problem–no problem at all. Excellent benefits package.
P.S. We spoke in Charleston right after RW was over for 20 minutes on January 1 about (a) reduction in costs of AIDS medicine and (b) U.S. energy policy (or lack thereof) while about 25 people listened to us talk–would have talked longer but I had to catch a plane–and I forgot to ask whether you were interested in working here. A Ropes & Gray IP lawyer snapped pictures, and I sent you them at the Institute. I’m the guy with the name tag still on trying not to drop the Sunday New York Times under my arm while we converse. Can we talk more?
