[Eg-oversight-board] Evergreen Project Legal Counsel Search

Tue Oct 30 15:20:10 EDT 2018

Hi all,

Yes, that's fine with me, Jessica.  We're using your line again?

Re the bank, we can ask, but I suspect they may not want to answer
with legal advice until there is a letter of engagement in place.

Thanks,

He was asking where we are in the process, and I explained that we are in the process of filing paperwork under the advisement of MOBIUS' attorneys. I would expect more questions about that relationship. I would guess that we will also need to explain our relationship with SFC. Mike, would you be willing to make those explanations?

Larry specializes in the area of not for profit organizations.    Larry is free on the 31st but not the 25th.  Our firm also has a large intellectual property practice, and Larry can see that you speak with an appropriate attorney here should those questions arise.

Slagle, Bernard & Gorman did not have a single email address, so I emailed the three attorneys at that practice who specialize in non-profit law. I could not find an email for Roger Fagerberg, so I called him and spoke with him. He is partially retired and not currently an authorized tax preparer with the IRS, so he declined our invitation. However, my conversation with him was helpful. He said it would be helpful for us to find an attorney who is also a CPA that could deal with any complicated tax issues that arise, or we should work with a CPA separately.

My thought is that the initial contact would be through email (though it could be a phone call if that is preferable), and our questions could be asked during a phone call in order to assess personality as well as experience. I'm requesting that Mike or one of the officers join me for the phone call, but you all are certainly invited! Does that sound like a plan?
