The Ayn Rand Book that Winked at Me

The Ayn Rand Book that Winked at Me

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

How do you pack for a trip down memory lane? For Proust, all it took was the smell of some coffee and pastry. For me, it was today’s tweet from @Brenna_E on @mashable regarding a “Giant Shout-Out to Ayn Rand.” In high school, a friend of mine was forced to digest Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, which she detested for each of the 974 pages.  I vowed, at that tender age, never to saddle myself with such a wordy, quasi-philosophical tome. But 10 years is a long time to keep such a promise.  Surprisingly, I found myself devouring Rand’s The Fountainhead while in law school.  I justified it as a way to take a break from (avoid?) my fed tax class.

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.
