Enron Online Trading -- organized a legal team and solved enforceability and documentation issues around the world in a few short months for all the commodities traded by Enron. 2.

The groundwork has been laid to develop very profitable businesses in each of these areas. 3. Aggressive Pursuit of Litigation Claims as a Plaintiff -- pursued Carolina Power & Light , Shell/Meridian, TVA, Ft. James and many others. Most have already settled with excellent results. Successfully defended Wolfschlager, the last Panhandle case and Jolen. 4. Lead Power Industry to Develop Master Power Agreement -- ENA lead the Edison Electric Institute coalition in developing the first master power agreement. ENA will benefit greatly in terms of dramatically lower transaction costs and greater liquidity. 5. Reduced Legal Costs as Percentage of Earnings -- brought overall legal costs to less than 6% of EBIT in 1999, down from 8% in 1998, despite the upsurge in origination activity. 6. Brought Finance and Corporate Legal Talent to Origination Deals -- as the origination work expanded dramatically and became much more complex, brought in more sophisticated legal talent to deals like UI and Peoples with great success. 7. New Concept to Better Manage and Communicate Legal Risks -- developed the legal risk book concept to highlight where the largest buckets of legal risks were and where efforts should be focused.
