Lawyers and business sometimes do not mix…

I saw this cartoon and I just had to share it!;) There’s a lot of truth in humor. There’s a quote that says “perception is reality.” As illustrated by the above cartoon, the perception of lawyers amongst business professionals is, well…terrible. We lawyers have the reputation of planning for the third coming of Christ… Such reservation does not translate well in boardrooms where all decisions live and die by margins. So what can we do to fix this perception. Well, have some proverbial balls. Be a deal maker, not a deal breaker. Sure, explain the risks and if the client persists in illegal activity, walk. But if you’re talking about semantics, life is too short.
