You’ll always remember your first time. Right? Especially if it goes horribly wrong. That’s what How to close your first deal without going completely crazy, the March 2012 Legal Eagles( Alberta Venture) is about. Well, more about how to make sure it all doesn’t go horribly wrong.

Featuring Chris Christopher a partner with Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in Calgary and Adam Merrick, a partner with MacPherson Leslie Tyerman LLP in Edmonton.

Best quote from the column:

Ask Stupid Questions. …you’re paying the legal brain across the table. You get to ask any stupid question you like, as many times as you like, to get an answer you understand. As Merrick puts it, “If you think it’s a stupid question, it’s probably a question that needs to be asked.”
