Welcome to the inaugural post of this Chicago Business Lawyer Blog. I am your principal blogger, Jeremy A. Gibson, an experienced business attorney. I have practiced throughout my career in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. This first post is to provide an idea of what posts are to come. (See my next post or my firm website for more about me.)
The world is awash in media and data. In fact, if you're like me, you may feel like you are drowning it. Between the Internet, cable, cell phones, smartphones, iPods and the like, it is hard not to feel overwhelmed by bytes and bits. However, all those factoids do not necessarily equate to knowledge or value. Especially, if you are busy with business.
That's where this blog - and editing and writing - come in. My goal is to provide you more with less. As an experienced Chicago business lawyer and journalist (see that next post), I will try to select from the flood of information only the most essential business law issues that companies, managers, and entrepreneurs should keep in mind. In other words, this blog will try to keep a sense of perspective and not pretend that every potential legal concern or development really is important.
This means that we'll keep an eye out on core, recurring and practical business law topics, such as startups, finances, trademarks, contracts, buying and selling businesses, employees, distribution and sales, risk management, regulatory compliance and commercial litigation. (Be sure to contact me, if you have a question or suggested subject.)
In addition, we'll respect your time. Blog entries will be kept succinct and to the point. We will deliver key points for you to determine if you need to take further action or find out more. We won't go on and on.
That's enough for starters.
