Look for a local firm that has an office overseas. Then, the local lawyer will be ultimately responsible for the work done there and you have recourse in case something goes wrong. Big law is pretty much fungible these days, there is really

The U.S. already has investor visas. The only difference between the investor visa and the start-up visa is that the latter dispenses with the capital requirement. I don't see what entrepreneurs are gaining by locating new businesses in the

As a consumer of programming, it's all too easy to compare different proposals merely based on price. Why hire a programmer for $125 if there is one who (apparently) can do the work for $65? Many people buying these services are not in a po

Legal writing is the only type of writing for which copying someone else's ideas (i.e., precedent) is a virtue rather than a vice. But it's easy to slip in "snake oil," even in a business context. Let's say you have two contract parties in

Years ago there was a diet based on this idea, I think it was called the blackmail diet. You set your weight loss goals, and then escrow, say, $10,000 to be paid to the Klan or the Na$is or some other loathesome group if you don't reach you

The issue isn't trust, or relationships. The issue is lawyers and how being dragged into litigation will affect the business. If the relationship goes into divorce, you can expect having to answer subpoenas, depositions and other discovery

I think it makes a difference if you want to learn a language like Russian, in which there is a great wealth of written material, or Arabic, where there is not. For Russian, you have to bite the bullet and learn the alphabet. However, for A

It odd that no one has commented on all the problems Craigslist has been having. It is inundated with spam. Some categories in some cities have been rendered useless. Take a look at the Craigslist complaint boards. People are abandoning Cra
