Dottore rubbed a few people the wrong way because they thought he exaggerated his experiences. It turns out he was understated. He was even more impressive in real life than he let on here. Others know more than me, but I believe he was born in Germany but he spent most of his career working in English speaking companies. He was a full equity partner at Baker McKenzie when they were the largest international law firm in the world. He spent quite a bit of time in Singapore where he handled tax and finance issues for companies and individuals who need the tax shelters and corporate advantages that Singapore offers. He spent his last years in practice in Vancouver, I assume still servicing multinationals with business in the Pacific Rim. In real life a lawyer like that wouldn’t have acknowledged me on the elevator. On the board he was unfailingly polite and gracious. I surmise, but I don’t have any evidence, that he returned to Germany before passing away.
