Listen to the Episode Below: Managing a team means knowing your role as a team member and as a business leader and learning the balance between the two.

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.
