"After more than 20 years at CBRE Darcy Stacom has decided to leave the company at the end of March to launch her own commercial real estate firm, and we wish her well with her new endeavor," the email read. The end of Stacom's tenure reflects sweeping challenges and generational shifts in commercial real estate. And in 2018, Stacom represented Google in its $2.4 billion acquisition of a new office property overlooking the Hudson River. "She's had an unbelievable career," said Jon Mechanic, chairman of the law firm Fried Frank's real estate practice, who has worked with Stacom on countless deals. The person did not want to be identified because they had not been authorized by CBRE to speak about Stacom's exit.

Harvey Pitt, a legal wunderkind who lasted just 18 months as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President George W. Bush, died on Tuesday in Washington. His death, in a hospital, came after a sudden illness, according to his family, which did not specify the ailment. Mr. Pitt’s career had three consecutive legs, any one of which alone might have been the pinnacle on a lesser résumé. He began his career at the S.E.C. After only three years, he left to represent corporate clients for the powerful law firm Fried Frank.

David Ako Abunaw III is a former professional athlete and a student at the University of Pennsylvania's law school. But I feel like it's common for law students to be very type A, so that's never going to be me. Networking with law firms was key to getting early interviews and offersI started networking before law school. I spoke with people at several law firms, either UPenn graduates or people I had something else in common with.
