Works well with entrepreneurs
Rima spoke at one of my MBA classes about entrepreneurship at DePaul University. She helped me start my business and helped me design a solid consulting contract. Her attention to detail and patience helped me stay smart on legal issues that most entrepreneurs forget. Highly recommend.
