Exiting Experience as a Business Lawyer

Your Ad Here

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

Honest Integrity

• As a Lawyer including Business lawyer you are required to keep and always maintain your honest integrity.
• In this Holy Fasting Month, as a Muslim (one who surrenders to God's will) , we are being required by the Creator to conduct fasting for 30 days.
• As a professional lawyer, we have to do with our best to be honest to ourselves by trying to clean our hearts and our mind.
• In order to clean your surroundings, you are supposed to firstly clean your intention and your mind set.
• As a human being we are frequently sidetracked by our physical wants and greediness in this real world
• Human being consists of physical element (our body) and non - physical element ( mind -soul).
• Our physical body during this Fasting months is being trained to managed itself by waking up in the early dawn before the Subuh Prayer, to “take food” and is obligated to fast –stop eating – taking food - during the day time - and is allowed to “break Fasting” during the Sunset – Magrib.
• As Muslims – the Servants Of Our Creator - we are being trained to feed our Soul by – not doing things which could –jeopardize – our fast- by not talking bad -evil things- looking at bad -evil things – thinking of bad thinks – praising and always thinking of GOD – and do the goodly things and actions – which are loved by GOD- to increase our awareness of "our real mission" - being created in this world by the ALL MIGHTY.
• This is a method to clean and purify our mind and soul – as being taught by our Creator.
• Well, as a Lawyer, we really have to be thankful, to our Creator, because we are given the chance every - 11 months cycle - to contemplate – and re-evaluate ourselves – to remind and trained our selves to be focus and return back to our mission – to be honest to our selves before we can advise others – to do the right things – in accordance with the laws and rules - which has to be in line with God's will and God's wants as described in the Holy Books sent down by the Creator to us through God's messengers/Prophets .
• This does not merely apply to lawyers - but also to other professions – to focus on its real mission – in making this world a better place for living – in accordance with the life rhythm and cycles – as being designed by the Creator
• As human being we have to recognize – and identify - who we are, develop our awareness – and know the real reason and mission – why we live and die – because – based on Surat 21 – Al Anbiyaa ( The Prophets ) Paragraph 35 – of the Holy Book Al Quran - GOD says : “Every Soul shall taste death. We (God) shall test you with (Note : my interpretation : evils/ negative/downs/happy things ) and ( Note: my interpretation :good deeds /positive/ ups/sad things) as trial. And to Us (GOD) shall you be returned to.
