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.
