They’re there, even if they’re hidden and don’t smack you in the face. They’re on Amazon.com, Shopping.Yahoo.com, and even less-known names like SnuggleMe.com (pet products). “They” are website terms and conditions; your website should have them too.

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.
