• A Change of Direction for Weekly NewsletterIn concert with the sweeping changes to the April issue of the Paradigm magazine, this edition of the Primerus Weekly newsletter will take on a decidedly new look of its own. Beginning this week, the newsletter will be anchored by the first in a series of feature profiles of Primerus attorneys, highlighting their achievements on the path to professional prominence while also focusing on the impact they’ve made in the legal community and beyond.Additionally, the revamped Weekly will include a Question & Answer look into the personal and professional life of various Primerus members, offering an opportunity to “get to know” each individual on an altogether different level.The Weekly, of course, will remain the home for accessing the popular Monday morning “Coffee and Conversation” get-togethers, and also will contain the traditional listing of upcoming Primerus events and programs to keep members fully abreast of our range of offerings.In short, this new version of the Primerus Weekly is designed to blend the best of the present and the past, while also casting an eye to a future that we believe is filled with promise. We hope you agree!Best regards, Jack Buchanan, President
