Are You “Open for Business” If You Get Hurt?

Are You “Open for Business” If You Get Hurt?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

We had a huge snowstorm here in the Northeast just before the 2020 Christmas holiday. So my husband, Joe, and I went to visit my mother and make sure she was safe… … and Joe slipped on the ice while helping to shovel her driveway. Not just slipped – he fell flat on his back and BROKE A RIB! (Nu? Could 2020 get any worse?) Thankfully, he didn’t need to be hospitalized or have surgery. But he was looking at an 8-week recovery period. I tell you that to ask you this: What if he HAD needed extended care? And I had to step away from my business to take care of him? What if it had happened to me … and I’m the one who couldn’t work for 8 weeks? What if you get COVID and it knocks you out of commission for months?

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.
