Our sweet spot is working with NYC-based marketing, training, and consulting companies who want to grow and scale by leveraging:

*  Partnerships: Whether in-house or strategic “JV/alliances,” they want help identifying the legal issues involved and having their agreements outline the expectations, money issues, and exit if things go sour.

*  Outsourcing/subcontractors: They’re ramping up their subcontractor workforce for projects and are striving to protect confidential and client info, and align payment terms. Or, when they receive vendor agreements, they want to avoid handing over the farm.

*  Online business: They’re branching out by using online marketing and sales, and want to sidestep legal landmines in their website terms, communications, and social media usage.

Nina says:

I’m often asked, “Why did you become a lawyer?” And I’ll quip, “Because I saw “To Kill a Mockingbird” at an impressionable age.” There’s truth behind the (attempted) humor. I wanted to be Atticus Finch when I grew up. Still do. Someone wise, trusted, and decent who helped solve people’s legal problems with integrity.

Couple that with the fact that I’m a bookworm, a ham, and an avid writer—it’s no surprise my practice has evolved as it has. I’m an educator at heart, and my beat is small business law. My mission is to demystify legal mumbo-jumbo for entrepreneurs and business owners. I want you to have the legal bedrock you need to build a sustainable company that supports you, your family, and your community. That’s reflected in my multi-faceted approach to legal services, my writing, my professional speaking, and the resources I’ve created for entrepreneurs. I wear many hats, but then, so do my business clients.
