Doing Due Diligence on Prospective Partners

Doing Due Diligence on Prospective Partners

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Everyone’s entitled to make a bad decision now and again. That chartreuse designer blouse that was just a smidge (ha!) too small (sure, you’ll lose a couple of pounds to fit into it) but you bought anyway because it was on sale and now takes up valuable real estate in your closet?  Not a good decision. The blind double-date that your pal arm-twisted you into because he wanted to go out with the hot girl who had a friend she needed to fix up, and you spent the next four hours listening to tales of cats, kitty litter, and poor Snookums with the hairball problem?  Not a good decision. That business partner that you started the new company with, whose credentials you didn’t check too closely because she was a friend of a friend (or came with a name that had a long pedigree and supposed connections), who ended up being a total bust forcing the company to go down the toilet?  Not a good decision.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
