Getting Dressed for the Prom
While I've never been to a psychic or a tarot reader, or consulted my horoscope except when presented with the most utterly content-free tabloid, I'm about to make a prediction: Coudert Brothers is grooming itself for a merger by shedding its less desirable offices. Today it was the German office, and yesterday it was San Francisco.
What they will not shed are the jewels of their Asian network, or the indispensable New York base. Short of that, there may be more to follow.
A first on "Adam Smith, Esq.," then, a prediction of a future fact (as opposed to a description of a future trend or general state of affairs)—and if I'm wrong, the last such prediction, at least for awhile.
