Businesses are a lot like houses. Planning, management and regular maintenance help keep everything running smoothly. Resources can be better allocated to improvement and expansion when the basic structure is sound.

Joel is part architect, part developer, part manager. He works to develop and maintain a reliable business framework, helps creatively design and expand the business, and handles unavoidable problems efficiently.

His four “canons” of a healthy lawyer-client relationship are:

    Learn the client's needs, goals, strengths and weaknesses, and educate where warranted;

    Handle routine matters quickly, so they don't become bigger issues;

    Utilize the most efficient course to complete or resolve issues;

    Remain alert to potentially non-routine matters, and handle them creatively when they arise.

“Attention to a business on a regular basis can reveal and head off problems before they become large, time-consuming and expensive.”
