From the department of “Oh, why not just put a stake through my heart?” came an inquiry from a reader who’s working with her boyfriend in his business. Ugh. Need I say more? It goes on: He’s having cash-flow problems. [Something tells me she isn’t getting paid for her efforts] He’s run the business for 15 years by himself [Nu? After all these years, he can’t hire staff?] and is not prepared to take on a partner [Hmmph]. She’s been helping him with marketing materials, communications with alliance partners and clients, creating e-courses and organizing the website revamp [In other words, helping create valuable intellectual property for his company]. She’s confident in her talents and abilities . . . and that he’ll compensate her fairly [Double hmmph]. The $64,000 question: Should she ask him to “put something in writing“? What do you think? [You’ve probably guessed what I think!] 🙂 Want to learn more about Kaufman Business Law? This is the video to watch.  Watch our Video

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.
