Murder is Not a Viable Business Partnership Exit Strategy

Murder is Not a Viable Business Partnership Exit Strategy

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

From The Times of India, comes this story of two realtors who murdered their business partner because he was cheating them.  You can’t make this stuff up.  It probably doesn’t need to be said, but I will anyway:  murder is not an appropriate or viable strategy for getting rid of your business partner. I can hear the Law & Order “doink-doink” music now:  first, they find the decomposed body wrapped in plastic in a nearby pond; then the detective investigates who was seen nearby; then, the office staff is questioned; then, like a bad Perry Mason episode where the culprit is always in the courtroom (why can’t these people just stay away and not call attention to themselves?), the dastardly duo give the police the very thing the police needed to make the arrest:  motive.  They tell the police that the deceased partner, Mr. Rakshit, had been stealing from the company.  Gevalt.

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.
