A few suggestions: 1) I'd take one more pass through this and strip the defensive stuff out ( we may have not been perfect stuff, etc.) just make it factual. 2) I'd move the sections on what Teneo does and what you do up to the top and then go through the details and how they have helped WJC; in this draft what the actual activities are sort of come in at the end. 3) If I were you I'd take Lasry out of this. You'll get into a deep debate about who's right and who's not with CC on this. The list is really strong without it, so why get into that.
