Step Back to Let Your Team Step Up and Scale

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Archimedes shouted “Eureka!” in a bathtub. Einstein had sudden insights into the theory of relativity while riding a streetcar. Newton “discovered” gravity during a countryside retreat (Cambridge University was closed because of the Black Death plague). I had my own eureka! moment years ago when I first started my business. I hated my job at a small NYC law firm. But I couldn’t decide whether to stay, look for another job (ugh—it would be my 2nd in 6 months), or join my then-business partner in a new venture. Terrified to move forward into the new, but feeling stifled by the old. What to do? I felt paralyzed. Couldn’t make a decision. Despite the stress of the job, I wangled a long holiday weekend away to attend a friend’s wedding in Rockport, MA. I sat on the coastline boulders for nearly an hour.

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.
