3. To Chief Operations Officer:

I have been reviewing our legal bills and they appear to be increasing at an alarming rate, as you know, we saw a 25% reduction in our earnings outlook for the next quarter. We really need to get these legal costs under control. I would like you to do some research and present me with a memo by January 22th at 11:59, outlining some initial strategies to reduce what we are spending on legal bills.

(Note: Not less than 500 words. And reference too.)

Thanks
