The End of an Era

We've felt so blessed to have ongoing great news about Baby Harvey's progress this week, because it has been a tough week professionally for me. Yesterday, my law firm (Heller Ehrman) voted to dissolve after 119 years in practice. Heller was truly a San Francisco institution. More than 1000 good folks in our multiple offices around the country will be out of a job in just a short time. Here is some news coverage of the closing:


I feel very lucky that I already have one job offer with a fantastic firm, Covington & Burling, that I'm seriously considering. I work with the intellectual property litigation practice group, and a large number of partners in this group are moving to Covington on October 1. Wish me luck as I make this big decision in the coming days.
