Why bother? Yes, some companies can cover many of their potential business risks with insurance. But in my opinion, if you intend to go into business, you should intend to form a separate entity. Create a plan and a budget that encompasses those costs. The risks to your personal assets and to your business growth far outweigh any advantages of sole proprietorship. Read on to find out why! Risk #1: You’re facing the world naked. Doing business as a sole proprietor is like going into battle without armor.

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.
