About Jan
Biography
I founded this firm with the belief that people can make a positive difference in the world and make a profit by doing so. My emphasis is on assisting small businesses and social entrepreneurs in all aspects of launching and managing their ventures. I’ve built a successful practice by working with the kind of people I respect and enjoy being around. Maybe that’s why it often becomes difficult to remember what came first – business or friendship. After spending over a decade working with hundreds of small business people throughout the entire life cycles of their businesses, I’ve become very adept at helping entrepreneurs concentrate on doing what they do best.

Reliable, friendly, easygoing
Jan does a ton of contract work for us and has established a number of companies on our behalf. He's been great at dealing with our sometimes-foggy ideas and distilling them into legal sense.
