When You Can’t Go to Sea … Mend Your Nets

When You Can’t Go to Sea … Mend Your Nets

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

2020 has made lots of my consulting clients feel like Rocky Balboa in the 15th round with Apollo Creed. Beaten and battered by the 1-2 punch of COVID and its wake of social, political, and economic disruption… … to the point where they’re no longer panicked. Just numb and exhausted. BUT STILL STANDING. They still have a tiny flame within – and maybe you do too — that’s asking: What can I do to finish the year strong … even when my energy and momentum is low?

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.
