It hasn't been terrible to work with Dave as opposing counsel on a deal so far and we just assumed that is fairly obvious given the circumstances, that we are in fact married. Apparently not to all parties:
Email received today at work (after 2+ months working on this deal):
Dear Erin,
Just curious.....
Is David Curtiss on the X deal related to you?
Best,
X
How many unrelated Curtiss (with TWO S's) lawyers do they think there are in Singapore?
And yes, this does explain why we stay in the same hotel room and share meals (read: roomservice breakfast) on business trips for this deal. If we were otherwise related wouldn't it be creepy if we were sharing hotel rooms? And wouldn't it be one helluva coincidence that two American's working on a deal just happened to have the same sort of unusually spelled last name?
But if you want awkward- think about having to ask a Partner whether or not you care share a room with your own husband on a trip? It was super fun. =)
