Law Does Not Work On Empty Space


  • As a Business Lawyer you have to know that law does not rule something which is vacant.
  • So the object that you are intending to view from the legal aspects  are NOT related to Empty Space
  • Accordingly, since you are a Business Lawyer,  you have to be aware of  the business object which your Clients wants you to protect from the legal aspects.
  • You have to make sure that Businessmen in conducting their business, wants  to ensure that their investment or monies thrown in their business   are well legally protected and desires  to get profit out of their business ventures.
  • For instances Businessmen or the Investors want to make sure that their monies either from Loans or Prospective Investors, which are invested or capitalized  in their Hotels Business which includes Fittings, Buildings, Lands,  all Fixed items and the moving assets, which will be part of the Hotel Accessories including the Manpower (from Management and all the supporting staffs) are secured starting from the Memorandum of Understandings, Legal Documentations of the Land and Buildings, Licenses needed, Loan Agreements, Cooperation Agreements, Management  Agreements, and all other documents and agreements, that are needed to be concluded including the Legal Due Diligence or Legal Opinion that are needed to be made depending on the negotiation and understanding between the Investors, Financiers, and all other  stakeholders relating to such Hotel Business Activities are really done and handled by Professional Qualified Business Lawyer.
  • So as you may notice there are wide range of knowledge that as Business Lawyer has to dig from your Clients to enable you to provide professional legal  services to your prospective Clients and for sure Law Does Not Work In Empty Space so the Object of the Business should be clear.

Exiting Experience as a Business Lawyer




As a business Lawyer you have to really think hard how to market and expose your self. For me since I like writing, I tend to expose my self by writing in my Blog which is called AGUNGSS Business Lawyer Note. In this Blog I can write the Business Law Experience which I had experienced during this 30 Years since I practiced Law at the Law Firm of Adnan Buyung Nasution & Associates back to the year 1979. Wauw I was still young during that time of period. But it is really exiting working as a Business Lawyer where I had helped my Senior Lawyers during those period by starting making researches upon the Law data and policy obtained from the Technical Department concern, as well as starting to draft agreements and letters from the legal aspects.
I remember handling matters relating to  banking, financing, labor matters, insurance, financing shipping business, trademarks, patents and drafting  agreements to be reviewed by my Senior Lawyers. I even do some searches in Sampit Pangkalan Bun representing an Insurance Client relating to the insured Tug Boats,  its Barges and Heavy Equipments such as Tractors being loaded and shipped for a saw mill deep inside Kalimatan, where the Barges were stranded at Pangkalan Bun, Sampit. There was no modern phone devices during those days, so it was rather hard to make contacts and communications with our Law Office at Jakarta. We were chartered a small Plane,  which flies very low and near the surface of the River at Kalimantan and was piloted by an Ex-American Pilot who experienced in Vietnam. Yes, it was really exiting experience which was occurring at the end Year of 1979. Well, the above was one of my experiences as a Business lawyer handling insurance cases  related to a stranded Barge at Pangkalan Bun Sampit, Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Snap Shot Business lawyer

As a Business Lawyer you have also experienced yourself  running your own boutique Law Firm Shop, where there is the ups and downs of your cash flow
It is really not easy to run your own boutique shop
When you are an in-house Lawyer in a Company, the endusers as well as the management will come to your place to ask for your legal assistance;
Whereas, if you are opening your own shop, you have to market yourself to your Clients. You have to tell to them who you are and what can you do in terms of Legal Services.
So there must be a "mental switch" for you as the Partner of the Boutique Law Firm.
There is no free lunch in this world. You have to be expert in some legal aspects relating to the business environment. You have to go around and meet people outside your office.
As long as you like your new venture being an Independent Lawyer running your own Shop there will be an opportunity for your to get some work from your networks and links.
So, go out and meet people, and try to make new friends within your business legal expertise
Cheers
