A Small Business Owners Bible February 3, 2009
Loretta Coburn (Carl Junction, MO USA)
Business Law Battle Plan for Entrepreneurs is a must read for the small business owner. I wish it was in print when I first opened in 2005. It's easy to read and has a wealth of information. It's a little scary, but we all need to know what's in this book, like it or not.
Better Safe Than Sorry February 23, 2009
Becky Gariglietti
This book is a step-by-step guide to starting a business and keeping it safe from lawsuits. It covers everything from hiring and firing employees, protecting your assets, and finding a competent attorney. It's the cheapest legal advice you'll ever get, well worth the money.
A Must Read for Entrepreneurs and their Managerial Staffs April 15, 2009
C. A. Lajos
In this guide which is intended to serve as a basic introduction or refreshing review for entrepreneurs and their managerial staffs, business attorney Marjorie Jobe (University of Houston, J.D., University of Missouri, B.A.; Admitted 1987) makes her case that following the rules and "doing the right thing," even though they may be legally and ethically mandated, may not be enough to protect business owners and their businesses from lawsuits, claims, and investigations by individuals, other businesses, and the government. Jobe argues that in this litigious age in order to minimize the risks of lawsuits and stay out of state and federal courts, business owners and their businesses also must secure the services of competent legal counsels as well as adopt continuously reviewed and revised "legal battle plans" that determine certain strategies, policies, and practices for running businesses. Comprehensive in scope but not depth, each chapter of this publication introduces a new topic pertaining to establishing and maintaining "business law battle plans" and is concluded by Points to Remember, Legal Cases, and Questions for Your Lawyer sections as well as a List of Resources available in print or online. Chapters cover diverse subjects, not limited to business entity formation, government investigations, marital property agreements, asset protection, business insurances, contracts, taxes, intellectual property, employment laws, human resource management, cyberspace liability, hiring and firing practices and procedures, what to do when you are being sued, and how to proceed if you decide to sue. Concisely, articulately, engagingly, and expertly presented by a legal insider who writes for new and seasoned entrepreneurs who may not have experienced the legal system and its many injustices, this informative, useful, and essential resource belongs on the desks of most, if not all, entrepreneurs and their managerial staffs as well as in most public library collections. Strongly recommended.
Essential Reading for Entrepreneurs (and it's far from boring!) April 30, 2009
Stephanie Chandler (Sacramento, CA United States)
This book is shocking! Marjorie Jobe is a business attorney in Texas and does an amazing job of giving you a behind-the-scenes look at our legal system. Using real world case studies, she will open your eyes to the dangers you face as a business owner and what you can do about them.
In one particularly compelling case, she relays the story of a trademark pirate. A company had a new logo designed, but someone got a hold of the logo and registered the trademark--then essentially held the rights for ransom. In this case, the original logo owner lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because they had to destroy product packaging with the new logo and start over. Scary stuff! (Note to freelancers, artists and writers--this is stuff you need to know.)
This is not another boring legal book. I read through it quickly and had a hard time putting it down. It was an eye-opener to say the least and I believe every business owner can benefit from the information provided here.
