I can confirm that. A deal like this would get me fired immediately as an ethics violation (I work in financial services). Instead of the dinner, they probably could've negotiated a lower fee which in turn would be beneficial for both clients and the company.

Instead of the dinner, they probably could've negotiated a lower fee which in turn would be beneficial for both clients and the company. TFA said they were at an impasse on the fee issue. This is just one way of breaking the deadlock. If anybody is worried about ethics issues just change it so that the dinner is Dutch. The point is about A. moving forward, and B. having those meetings - not the couple of hundred dollars spent on the meal itself.
