For example, we will develop tailored services that cater specifically to our customers' unique needs. This bespoke approach not only adds significant value but also ensures that our offerings remain relevant and indispensable.

You're aiming for success in leadership. What essential skills do you need to possess?
I agree with this perspective. Decisiveness in leadership is crucial because it fosters momentum, builds trust within the team, and helps avoid the pitfalls of indecision, which can lead to missed opportunities or stagnation. However, true decisiveness balances speed with thoughtful analysis. A strong leader makes informed choices based on available data, while having a bias for action—ensuring that decisions lead to progress rather than paralysis. This combination of confident decision-making and a proactive approach allows a leader to guide the team effectively through uncertainty while maintaining credibility and morale.

How do you balance speed and quality in the due diligence process?
Categorize the requested items as high, medium, or low priority. Make sure you get ALL high-priority items. Work with the company to knock out any low-hanging fruit and then determine which medium/low priority items you can live without to make the most informed investment decision.

Attorneys, Accountants, and other Trusted Advisors: If your firm subscribes to West LegalEdcenter, you may want to attend our upcoming webinar, THE NUTS & BOLTS OF BANKRUPTCY LAW - The Nuts & Bolts of Retention. Premiering on 5/13/24 and available on-demand thereafter, the webinar will be moderated by Jack Spencer of McDonald Hopkins LLC, and will feature as panelists: Steve Golden of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP + Matt Christensen of Johnson May The registration link to attend this webinar is: https://lnkd.in/dYX7Prps Some lawyers and other professional persons in a bankruptcy case need court approval before they can represent their clients in chapter 11 proceedings. While retention may not be the most exciting aspect of chapter 11 practice, professionals will not last long in bankruptcy practice if they do not understand how to get retained and paid. This webinar explains the process for getting retained as a professional in a chapter 11 case. It discusses the requirements for obtaining court approval, the requirements for disclosing connections, and the rules regarding conflicts of interest. This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it teaches. And it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it. If you do not subscribe to West LegalEdcenter, you may watch this webinar on-demand on FinancialPoise.com within a few weeks after its premiere on West.

Are you deciding between a sole proprietorship and an LLC? Here are some key points to consider: Liability Protection: LLCs shield your personal assets, while sole proprietorships do not. Tax Flexibility: LLCs offer more tax options and ways to reduce taxable income that sole proprietorships don't. Cost & Complexity: LLCs are more costly and complex to set up but offer more benefits in the long run. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right structure for your business!

Ever wondered how a law degree helps in business? Here are Bill Cogan's top 5 lessons: 1️⃣ Instruct, Don’t Shout 🤬 Forget yelling (virtually or IRL). Analyze, question, and instruct. 2️⃣ Juggle Like a Pro 🤹♀️ Lawyers rarely work on just one matter. Founders, you’re the same. Assess, prioritise, delegate, execute. 3️⃣ Feedback: Take It or Leave It 👨🏫 Feedback is like a boat—if it’s slowing you down, maybe it’s time to jump ship. Objectivity is key. 4️⃣ People Are Puzzles 🎲 Every client and team member is unique. Understanding different personalities is essential in law and in business. 5️⃣ Risk vs. Reward 🎁 Lawyers are risk-averse; entrepreneurs are risk-hungry. Balance both to limit downside and maximize upside. Experience is your best teacher. No matter your past life, there’s always something to bring into your #entrepreneurship journey. 👇 Share your pre-founder career and your #1 takeaway in the comments! #BusinessTips #EntrepreneurLife #LawToBusiness

In an LLC, compensation is typically controlled by the operating agreement. The operating agreement sets forth how gains, profits, losses, assets, and deductions are to be allocated among the members of the LLC. For the most Part, distributions are made on a pro-rata basis according to the members’ ownership interests in the LLC. A member generally has no taxable gain on distributions of cash or property as long as the distributions do not exceed the member’s basis in his or her LLC interest. A member’s basis is decreased by cash and other property distributed from the LLC to the member. As a general rule, the basis of the member’s interest is equal to the amount of cash and the basis of the assets the member transfers to the LLC in exchange for his or her interest.
