Thinking of going “location-independent”?

Thinking of going “location-independent”?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

The COVID-19 lockdown has forced lots of business owners to think differently about how their business operates. Because this may not be the last time there’s a lockdown, and no one wants to be taken by surprise like that again. A curious theme I’m hearing from some client recently is that while the quarantine was originally a MAJOR inconvenience, they’re now seeing a new opportunity they hadn’t anticipated.

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.
