The Form is Always Wrong
By Dan DeWolf and Samuel Effron
Mintz attorneys are often asked as to why we don’t simply provide “forms” on our website that can be downloaded and used. After all, a number of law firms let you download term sheets and other forms such as SAFEs. Our simple answer is: THE FORM IS ALWAYS WRONG!

Forget Oil Prices, Renewables are Here to Stay
By Tom Burton and Paul Dickerson
We are now in the teeth of the most profound oil bust since the 1980s, but this time, investment in renewable energy development continues apace even as crude is scraping against 12-year lows. The supply of wind power, measured in British thermal units, rose more than threefold between 2008 and 2015, and the supply of solar power rose almost sixfold, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Wind power is expected to rise another 23 percent and solar another 36 percent by the end of 2017.
