Consolidation is also a big issue. Regional specialty hospitals are buying up local GPs. Companies like Banfield are also buying up specialty hospitals and GPs. This reduces the number of software buyers and obviates the need to "trans

Really? I didn't know federal judges can request cases. Is that specifically a N.D. Cal. thing? I always thought cases were randomly assigned to a judge in the relevant district.

Are you sure Twilio or Nutanix didn't file confidentially before its S-1 was flipped public? I'm actually not sure if there's a way to tell, other than a leak.

Do you have any info that companies that don't have great numbers tend to file S-1's confidentially compared to companies with great numbers? In my experience, companies that can file confidentially will, regardless of their numbe

I get the feeling Big Law firms are reaching the point where they can no longer rely on increasing hourly rates as a primary source of growth. And I think for the first time in the the history of Big Law, the incentives are such that effici
