I had a delightful interview with Bruce Freeman, aka The Small Business Professor, who writes a syndicated column for the Scripps Howard News Service and is the accomplished co-author of Birthing the Elephant (Ten Speed Press), and president of ProLine Communications.  We had a fun discussion about the importance of using confidentiality agreements to protect valuable business trade secrets.  Click here for his column and a special welcome to Professor Bruce readers who followed his link to my website.

All types of contracts play an important role in the smooth running of day-to-day business affairs.  They are important when economic times are good and absolutely essential in bad times.  That’s why within the next few weeks I’ll be offering Legal Literacy readers a free copy of Part 1 of my new Legal Leverage Series No Nonsense Contracts: An Action Guide for Business Owners and Managers.

I’m really excited about being able to bring you this valuable resource.

Stay tuned.
