Upbeat Social Media Legal Expert

"When you are running your own business, you always need to be optimistic and enthusiastic" to paraphrase Roger when I ask him how manages to be upbeat all the time. Roger helped me setup my social media LLC. As I work full time, Roger made himself available in the late evenings. He was very supporti...ng through out the process. I plan to use his business expertise too as I plan to launch my start up in coming weeks.

Brings significant insight and experience to the table

Roger is unique in his ability to join legal strategy with business strategy. This is my third startup, and while we were very successful at my first one, had I known Roger when I first started, we would have exceeded even our wildest dreams. He provided insightful advice based on our company's ...current position. He not only helped us see gaps in our growth strategy, he offered specific advice on how to fill in those gaps. He included a legal perspective on what was important and not as important to focus on as we grew. He's solid, and I recommend him without reservation to any executive team or board.

Business Strategy & Legal Acumen

I usually think of legal strategies as a way to protect my uhmm, assets, not as a way to generate new ones. Roger changed my mind! I came away from our meeting with new insights and ideas on how to best generate revenue in a new business venture I’m pursuing. Roger offers a unique combination of b...usiness savvy and legal expertise that comes from years of experience working with a variety of businesses. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he manages to make legal strategies not only understandable and meaningful but also entertaining and compelling. I actually had fun discussing legal issues -- imagine that! If you haven’t had a strategy session yet with Roger, do it. I’m betting you’ll come away with revenue generating ideas for your business that you hadn’t even considered.

Roger Glovsky has been integral to the success of several of my businesses

Roger incorporated my first startup, and then was our counsel through our startup and growth phases. He was always able to hone his legal advice with his own startup experience and business acumen. It wasn't until we sold that company and I had to start using the acquirer's "downtown" firm that I r...ealized just how valuable Roger's unique perspective is. I have referred him to many other startups, and have had the pleasure of engaging him myself at several later startups. His help has played a significant role in my own achievements.
