		<description>I believe that any company seeking to make a mark in this industry has to widen their perspective as much as possible given that green construction is very much in its infancy compared to traditional buildings, and one of the ways to do so is to think and explore what owners would love and want in their green buildings.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment Tim.  It&#039;s never a bad thing to know (or at least have an idea) what the competition or other side of a negotiation may be thinking.

		<description>I think you really hit on an important point.  Being an effective lawyer is not only representing and understanding your client&#039;s view point, but also extrapolating the views of the other side of the table.
