How Important Are Deal Sheets [00:00:00] Is it dumb to even consider putting failed deals on my deal sheet? I've worked on a variety of deals that have fallen apart at the last second, but I've done a ton of substantive work. If I don't list those on my deal sheet, my list of closed deals looks kind of thin. Any advice? And to be clear, I'd point out one way or another, that those deals didn't close... I've written a lot about deal sheets. I think that one of the things, law firms like deal sheets. The best attorneys always have deal sheets and the corporate market, and they have deal sheets because it shows their enthusiasm and that they're keeping track of everything that they've worked on. Even putting failed deals, I would just say, you might want to put like your deal. You might have transacted, completed transactions, something like that. Completed. And then list, and then you might have the non completed transaction, something like that. You could do something along those lines. Completed. Did a transaction, something like that. You can talk about what you did is not dumb. I think that, again, the best corporate attorneys, the best attorneys I've ever worked with always have deal sheets. They take them very seriously. They write down every deal they do and and almost becomes part of [00:01:00] their identity. So I really liked the way you're thinking. And I think that that enthusiasm, if it comes through and the way you do it would be really good. So I think that's a great question and I would list the ones you haven't completed, but, that's my opinion. I would like to see that and why I'm saying it may not be the best of advices. If you only have one or two completed deals and 10 non completed, it's weird, but I think having listing them all is perfectly fine.
