Welcome to ILTA

The month of August has seen several significant mergers, acquisitions and product launches.

I am happy to report that I have watched these developments from the comfort of my favorite vacation spot with my family.

So with my batteries recharged, I am looking forward to seeing many of you in Dallas for ILTA.

If you are attending and would like to connect to exchange ideas or to discuss the recently published 2008 East Coast Salary Survey… please drop me a note.

My email is david@cowengroup.com

I can easily be found at any of the Litigation Support Track sessions and will be holding a table discussion every morning at breakfast.
