Lawyer Douglas Colt is a Senior Litigation Associate with Silicon Valley law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges. His practice generally involves commercial litigation and as such, he’s used to handling critical cases involving large corporations. But despite his highly demanding job, Douglas Colt seems to have found a good balance between his work and his private life. A quick tour of his blog at http://dougcolt.blogspot.com/ reveals a man who seems to be content with life and everything it offers. Together with his wife Aviva and their two year old daughter, Ainsley, Douglas Colt has time to enjoy weekends spent playing classic board games and evenings out with close friends.
Last year, Douglas Colt convinced Aviva to take a completely spur-of-the-moment trip to London to catch Roger Waters tour with Pink Floyd. As he recounts in his blog, “We put together a fantastic, last-minute trip. We left San Francisco on a Friday afternoon; got into London about 2 p.m. local time, grabbed a quick nap, and then headed out on the town. We hit up Ministry of Sound and a plethora of local bars. Finally on Monday night, it was time to see Waters again at the O2 Arena. He didn’t disappoint!” said Douglas Colt.
