Clever people and grocers …

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

As Seen In …   … they weigh everything. ~ Zorba the Greek So do my clients when it comes to growing their business. Do I want more? they ask. Of course! they reply. There’s the mortgage. The kids’ college fund. Mom’s medical expenses. And that bucket list trip to Tahiti! Yet surely as the sun sets over Bora Bora, they dread the additional time the increase in revenue would require. But does it have to? Not if you design your business to scale. What does that mean? Well, many turn to entrepreneurship for options. Better career options. Lifestyle options. Creativity options. Financial options. But then they become the primary service delivery funnel. Or preferred customer service source. Their smaller clients worry they won’t get the same level of attention if your company grows. Corporate-level clients worry you can’t ensure consistency if you don’t . All this means the company can’t function without you. In other words, it’s owner-dependent and can’t “scale.” And that limits your options.

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.
