Tough and Possitive Attitude

Here I am back writing again
I really do not know what to write
there are times where you are busy and loaded with work but there are times where you have spare times to write in your blog.
as a lawyer, we tend to write, since we are used in making legal opinions, and legal advices or making reports upon the legal due diligence that we are required to do
it has been 11 years since June 1998, I had practiced as a business lawyer running this LAW FIRM SULEIMAN AGUNG & CO.
You have to have a positive mind and attitude
With the permit of GOD The ALL MIGHTY there are always way out, when you are in the edge of a cliff.
You have to be really tough and always trained yourself mentally, especially when the cash in are not as you have expected to be.
sometimes you really do not know where to go, and have to clear your mind and seek for a solution.
You have to think clear and face the reality of life.
By having these experiences you can feel how your Client's situation when they are in a need to bridge their cash flow situation.
they are striving hard to save the live of their company
I think whatever the commodities that you are selling, whether it is a hard product /tangible product or services such as legal services, you may face the similar reality situation.
In this kind of situation you have to really think hard.
Every entrepreneur appears to face the same situation
so mentally you have to be really strong and tough

Business Lawyer 's Mind

If you are experienced for a long time representing Business Clients
Your mind is shaped in such a way that you are forced to view and protect the investments that your Client are spending
For business Clients, Legal Certainty is really significant.
As a Business Lawyer you have to able to read the business minds and wants of your Clients
Time is really the essence in making business decisions and momentum shall be significant in making such business decision
Your mind as a lawyer have to follow the body gesture of your Client
at the end of the day you have to come up with some products of legal services as been required by your Client to serve their needs
such product can be a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) or Letter of Intent (LOI) as the staring point to jot down the intention of the parties who desires to enter into a mutual understanding between your Client and the co businesses counter part
as a classical issue the nature of the MOU or LOI is frequently questioned as to whether it is already a binding commitment between the parties or is it just and still a loose non binding arrangement which has no legal quensequence
In practice sometimes the nature of this MOU or LOI Intent differs one from the other depending upon the real intention of the parties.
If the parties are still intending to explore with other co- partners or co counter parts, then there is a certain limit period of time where the Parties are free to enter into another similar arrangement with other prospective investors upon the same business transaction or business arrangements, whithout have been regarded as breaching any commitments under such MOU.
If we analog it with marriage, then a "finance engangement" between a couple, migth be close to such MOU or LOI, depending upon the intention of the couples hehehe.
Well, folks, the above are some experience on the MOU exposures, which are usually entered by parties who desire and intend to explore a business arrangements for a certain projects in Indonesia.
