Basic Training: About Presidents

Basic Training: About Presidents

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

In light of this week’s national “activities,” here’s a question about presidents–of corporations, that is. Q.: Can you change the president of a corporation? And if the president dies, who takes over? A.: Sure you can change the president of a corporation. But, like our national government, you have to have an election. And if you’re changing the president because, well, you caught her hand in the company till and she’s being ousted, then you have more than just changing presidents to deal with–you have the corporate equivalent of an impeachment. If a president dies in office, you have a different set of issues. In our national government there’s a “succession plan.” According to the Presidential Succession Act of 1792, if the president dies in office, he (or she, when our country becomes enlightened enough) will be succeeded by the vice president.

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.
