Strategic alliances, joint ventures, collaborations . . . whatever you want to call them . . . are very delicate creatures. Like other relationships, your “intended” wants to feel special, wants to be comforted in the knowledge that there is a meaningful reason your two companies have come together. You don’t want to find out that you were the also-ran, the back-up date in the event that your strategic partner’s first choice for the prom fell through. That’s why I enjoyed Joel Comm’s instructive and amusing (because it’s true!) post on “How Not to Propose a Joint Venture.” Let’s face it — if you mass-emailed a bunch of people to ask them out on a date . . . and put all of their email addresses in the CC line of the email, what do you think the chances are that you’d get any takers?

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.
