Sometimes thinking to yourself that you wish you could hear what was going on in another room isn’t quite as fun as doing something about it. At least, so says Chad Buckner, an executive assistant to an attorney’s firm in Anaheim, Calfornia.
Mr. Buckner was assisting his boss, whose name has been withheld under conditional request of anonymity, in preparing for a meeting with not just a potential client, but a potential business partner.
The partnering firm was an effort between two men, both legal professionals, who were specialized in similar fields of law. The idea was to unite their efforts under one umbrella, and expand the threshold of specialized law areas that their firm would be able to assist clients with.
“The idea was to bring in more clients, which would bring more revenue,” said Buckner of the preconceived idea for uniting their efforts. “but this could’ve been a tragic misstep on my boss’s part.”
According to Buckner, talks broke down somewhat when the potential partnering firm attempted to make a last minute change to the contract in the process of looking over the documents that were about to be signed. The clause in question regarded the split in revenue directly.
“As my boss and his potential partners reviewed the contract initially, these things were discussed explicitly,” Buckner reveals. “It’s not as though there was a grey area. They all mutually agreed to this, then at the last minute, took the deal off the table and tried to make changes to the arrangement.”
Thanks to covert recording equipment he has purchased via renowned online spy equipment retailer Spy Base, his conference room was equipped with concealed listening and recording equipment. As he left the room following what could’ve become a heated discussion involving three potential businessmen about to partner up, the parties left inside believed there were outside of his ear’s range.
They were wrong.
Buckner recalls that the two men inside immediately began chatting amongst themselves as though they knew that the terms they were about to suggest could easily be revealed as the unbalanced and conniving proposition it was. Their change to the terms literally suggested not only a restructuring of the ways in which the determinations of revenue earned were made, but worked to strip his own firm of two thirds of their overall profit immediately upon signing.
Of course, initially, the proposition wasn’t worded in a way that detailed this outright. The terms were suggesting a change in structure of pay to each participating legal professional in a way that masked the overall totals for what ended up in the pockets of the other two legal professionals.
“Thanks to the recording equipment we bought from Spy Base, not only did these two jokers shoot each respectively themselves in the foot at the finish line, but they killed what could’ve been the biggest deal they’d seen in their legal careers, and the chance to open an industry-leading law firm, because they got greedy.
“This recording equipment saved our business, basically.”
