This is what I’m seeing in the dark

This is what I’m seeing in the dark

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

As you may know, I live and work on Park Avenue, in the heart of New York City. But right now, The City That Never Sleeps … has gone comatose. So I do what I can each day, and then try to give myself a treat. Like the other night, I was chowing down on a bag of cheese popcorn (yes, I’m a stress eater). Watching The Boy with Green Hair. It’s a 1948 film about a war orphan named Peter, who awakens one morning to find his hair turned green, and is ridiculed for it. In one scene, Peter has just gone to live with his “Gramps.” Peter is afraid of the dark. As Gramps tucks him in, he consoles Peter by saying, There’s nothing in the dark that wasn’t there when the light was on. Think about that.

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.
