I am in the middle of negotiating the end to a case with clear liability, clear damages, and some thorny legal issues. When I get towards the end of a case, mediation is often a way to resolve it. I rarely arbitrate cases these days. Mediation is basically a negotiation where both sides want the case to settle but …
How to Build a Book of Business or Are You Hungry?
So, “how to” is the most searched term in the internet. Interesting right. It makes sense. How many of us have ever searched how to build a book of business?

The Bear: The Struggle
I have been watching the Bear on Hulu for a few weeks now. It is about the struggle, both personal and professional, of a chef in Chicago who is a reluctant business owner.
