Take this Quiz and I'll Buy You a Beer*

Henry Grossman — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:37:49 -0400

Roger Glovsky, John Koenig, and I have developed a new service product called the "Information Security Advisor." (See http://www.indigoventure.com/solutions/isadvisor.html.) This product helps an organization set up and run a written information security program (WISP), as required by the Massachusetts regulations (201 CMR 17) that went into effect a few months ago.

As a way to connect with prospective clients, we've put together a 5-question quiz. I'd like you to take the quiz and tell me what you think.

Preparing to Wind Down a Business: What information do you need?

Roger Glovsky — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:23:45 -0500

We just posted Part 3 of the series on winding down a business. Although the concept of winding down a business is a pessimistic proposition, it is often a necessary action. This week's blog provides a good checklist of information for approaching the wind down process. You can find it at: http://www.askthevc.com/blog/archives/2009/11/preparing-to-wi.php.

Patent Brokers?

Robert Plotkin — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:58:26 -0500

Does anyone know of any good patent brokers, particularly any who are willing to work for a seller (patent owner) on a pure contingency (success) fee basis? I am looking for such a service to assist clients who have obtained patents, or who have patent applications pending, but who have either been unable to commercialize the invention or who have run out of funds to pursue their patent or application. Such people often have created valuable technology, if only they could find a buyer or licensee.

[Diane Darling recently spoke to the BLN group in Boston. She is both insightful and entertaining! --/j/Roger]

Need to bring in business when all you want to do is practice law? How do you "make rain" when the climate seems dry? Can you make connections with clients if you're someone who dislikes cocktail parties?

This spring I hosted a program with Jay Meltzer, former general counsel to the TJX Companies. Jay and I are combining forces again to provide business development advice, strategies, and tips to attorneys who want to build and strengthen client relationships.
