What is the alternativeness of this newsletter?
First of all, what we will not write about, and what they usually write about in newsletters.
First of all – we will not write what has changed in the applicable regulations. There are others who do it constantly, and they certainly do it better than we would. In particular, we will not write about which law enters into force, and especially about the fact that we know the law that enters into force better than anyone else.
Secondly, we will not write about how important we are and that we are the best lawyers in the world.
Thirdly – we will not write about how we have just achieved incredible court or transaction success, such that no one has ever achieved such a success.
The success story is somewhat boring but, more importantly, it seems a bit inelegant to us. And certainly – not very creative. Problems, crises, failures – this is the more interesting side of our professional existence.
It’s not just that, however. The business narrative obliges us to be successful, to confirm that everything is ok. Problems and failures are forbidden, we must not talk about them. This creates a barrier of hypocrisy, as in the case of soccer coaches who always praise their players. Then it’s hard to find out what it really is.
The purpose of our newsletter is to present the various, possibly general problems that we have encountered in connection with the application of economic law. Our aim, then, is to present views, not information. So it’s about approximating a point of view that usually for not lawyers – is unavailable. We also want to write about what, from the perspective of many of our lawyers, is considered a forbidden topic, because it leads to the disclosure of rather intimate professional secrets.
To write about it, you need to distance yourself and your own weaknesses, not to mention the reality in which you work on a daily basis.
This is what the Alternative Legal Newsletter will be about.
