Infrastructure, Credit and Quantitative Services:
We implemented an energy trading and risk management system for a large utility and a large unregulated power trading subsidiary of one of America's largest private utilities. Our services included detailed validation, documentation, and critique of the VaR methodology, as well as implementation of the client's credit risk methodology. We also developed detailed processes and procedures that were mapped to a wide range of the client's business scenarios, encompassing full front-to-back office functionality of the system. We advised the client on system data requirements, as well as established system configuration and maintenance procedures to support the implementation. The project involved training of business users, development of detailed acceptance test plans, design of key system reports, and overall project management.

Legal Brief Writing

If you are an attorney or prospective client needing assistance from a legal brief writer, please contact me so we can discuss your case. The brief shown below was given the Hunton and Williams prize for the best brief written by a first-year law student at the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1995. A law partner at Skadden, Arps in Washington, D.C., said the brief was so good that he felt he could use it without any further research or editing on his part.
