Leaving a Business Partner

Leaving a Business Partner

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

True confessions time:  the last few months have been very hard because, well, for all of my desire to be the Business Partnership Expert, my own business partner and I parted company as of December 31, 2007.  It was my decision.  There were things in the partnership that just weren’t working, and others that I had ignored for a long time, but about which I could no longer stick my head in the sand. There are still some ongoing details, and it wasn’t entirely an amicable separation (even with a partnership agreement), but for the most part, I was able “exit — stage left” (Heavens to Murgatroid!) within a matter of a few months.  I suppose that, in itself, is a real achievement.  I’ll be writing more about it as I get back to blogging.

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.
