What kind of cake do YOU want?

What kind of cake do YOU want?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

It’s my birthday week, so naturally, my thoughts turn to cake. (I love cake.) As a kid, I got to choose what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday. Not there was such a wide selection in those days. You got Duncan Hines® chocolate cake or golden cake. Chocolate icing or vanilla icing. Fruit filling was around … but why bother with fruit when you can have chocolate? I was super-clear about what I wanted. Golden cake. Chocolate filling. Chocolate buttercream icing. And I got pretty testy if I didn’t get it. Are you that clear about what you want? And are you willing to stand your ground and fight to get it? I get it. Running a successful business is not a piece of cake. Business is complicated. Over time, it can muddy your thinking.

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.
