  • Encouragement for Entrepreneurs!

    Hi all -- during these tough economic times, we can use all the encouragement we can get. I blog regularly for Startup Nation (www.startupnation.com), which is a great site for advice for starting and running a business. One of the founders of that site, Rich Sloan, posted a blog post today that I enjoyed. So, in case it encourages anyone here (or for you Bruce Springteen fans....), I encourage you to check it out! And feel free to post your comments there and/or here to share your words of encouragement too!

  • Experienced and enthusiastic Start-up, Small Business and Business Lawyer

    I'm just discovering the wonders of Biznik, and am excited to become a participant in this great community!

    About me: I am a lawyer who loves working with start-ups and small businesses. It is so rewarding to help business owners launch their dreams and ideas, and to help them become a reality. So, since I am new to the community, let me introduce myself and encourage you to visit my website to learn more about the different services I offer to my clients. And ask yourself these questions:

    Are you launching a new business? Do you need assistance with entity formation, contracts, commercial lease negotiations?

    Do you have an existing business and need legal advice and counseling on your day-to-day operations, franchising or contracts?

    Are you facing a dispute involving your business?

    If the answer is yes to any of the above, I can help! I provide start-up counseling, flat fee entity formation services, and business advice, assisting my clients in structuring and operating their businesses, drafting and negotiating contracts, and with 14 years experience as a business and commercial litigator, I also am available to serve as an advocate in business, partnership and corporate disputes.

    I look forward to meeting many of your at the various Biznik events and online, and will host my own event in the near future, so stay tuned!
