hi @Carter Matzinger and @Nick Ward have you guys told Cam and Andy about the planned setup changes (like with approvals and all that)?

I can try and reach out now if that would help

Good morning @Carter Matzinger @Nick Ward. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a set meeting to discuss operations and make sure that Shield and TIP are aligned. We could include Mark and Greg if need be. Thoughts?

Nick Ward (nicholas@tortintakeprofessionals.com)

Glad to chat/meet. Are we talking general alignment or something in particular?

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:09:36

general alignment

@Malissa obviously we are two entities, but I think we are going to have to reinforce the need to view both companies as the same for getting stuff done.

and yes the separation should not be there

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:13:13

alignment meetings for sure. meetings that should be an email not so much

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:13:43

Cam hates meeting just FYI. Andy is all for it if it fixes stuff.

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:13:50

so basically.... don't tell Cam yet lol

Carter Matzinger (cmatzinger@tortintakeprofessionals.com)
2025-08-26 12:17:51

we don't need to pull him in. We just need to tell him the new process and if it's in place and what if fixes

when do we want to meet?

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:21:16

Great question. and should it be daily, weekly?

Carter Matzinger (cmatzinger@tortintakeprofessionals.com)
2025-08-26 12:28:06

oh I thought you were just talking now to get on the same page. At this rate I think twice a week since everything is moving so fast. Possibly Tues Friday for 30 min. Even Monday - Thursday so we can find out what happened over the weekend and Thursday so loose ends get put to be on Friday

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:33:48

i hate Friday meetings but i hate Monday meetings more. Tuesday and Friday might be best

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)
2025-08-26 12:34:20

I have a meeting with Cam and Andy Monday afternoons (sometimes) and it could be good to do that before a ops meeting.

Malissa (malissa@shield-legal.com)

2025-08-26 12:39:08

@Nick Ward @Carter Matzinger Did you guys want to come over here to meet? I didn't schedule a conference room lol. We could use Andy's office I don't think he's coming in.
