Exceptional People True Stories

“A few years ago, I was in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for a client meeting during December. My client kindly invited me for a dinner to discuss her matter. I duly obliged and was picked up at 8 PM by my client, who drove us 20 minutes to have dinner outside at an open-air restaurant. It was -8º outside, and with no heating we discussed the finer points of English and Uzbek law on breach of contract and misrepresentation! I was frozen to say the least but the client was happy and the case is still going.”
