When Walter Raineri talks about blind trust, he means it literally. The Fenwick & West tax partner lost 90 percent of his vision due to a hereditary condition that ravaged his retinas. He had to give up practicing law two years ago as a result, but recently returned to his other passion -- road cycling. That's possible now because he sits behind fellow Fenwick tax partner Barton Bassett, who steers their tandem bike. From the seat of the bike, feet pedaling in sync, the two brainstorm complex tax issues.
