| business lawyer retainer fee: Class Action Clara Bingham, Laura Leedy Gansler, 2003-10-14 The true story of Lois Jenson, a petite single mother, who was among the first women hired by a northern Minnesota iron mine in 1975. In this brutal workplace, female miners were relentlessly threatened with pornographic graffiti, denigrating language, stalking, and physical assaults. Terrified of losing their jobs, the women kept their problems largely to themselves—until Lois, devastated by the abuse, found the courage to file a complaint against the company in 1984. Despite all of the obstacles the legal system threw at them, Lois and her fellow plaintiffs enlisted the aid of a dedicated team of lawyers and ultimately prevailed. Weaving personal stories with legal drama, Class Action shows how these terrifically brave women made history, although not without enormous personal cost. Told at a thriller’s pace, this is the story of how one woman pioneered and won the first sexual harassment class action suit in the United States, a legal milestone that immeasurably improved working conditions for American women. |
| business lawyer retainer fee: The 10 Stupidest Mistakes Men Make When Facing Divorce Joseph Cordell, 2010-12-07 The Knowledge Every Man Needs for a Successful Divorce Each year 500,000 men will face divorce, and most of them make at least one crucial—and often irreversible—mistake. These errors might seem minor, such as moving out while things get sorted out, or thinking of “temporary” orders as being truly temporary. But when they get to court, these men discover they have put themselves in a terrible position. They may have to give up their house, pay impossibly high alimony, or even lose custody. You could be one of these men. But you don’t have to be. Joseph Cordell, the founder of the nation’s largest law firm focusing on men’s divorce and the creator of the Dads Divorce website, has seen the consequences of the mistakes men make. Drawing upon the huge number of cases that Cordell & Cordell has handled, this book identifies the 10 most common mistakes that end up hurting men in divorce. Cordell demystifies the divorce process, explains what judges consider in making their final decisions, and lays out a road map for positive actions men can take to achieve the best possible outcome. No man should face divorce without this book. |

| business lawyer retainer fee: The Fundraising Rules Mark Peter Davis, 2013-03-22 The Fundraising Rules is a very clear explanation of the startup fundraising process, written by a person who has been on both sides of the fundraising process as a venture capitalist, angel investor and venture-backed startup founder.

You can read more about Mark Peter Davis, the author, on his blog http://mpd.me or follow him on Twitter http://twitter.com/mpd. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: THIS IS VERY CLEAR! - Julien Smith, NY Times Best Selling Author and Startup CEO A practical guide from someone who has seen thousands of pitches - read it to get the inside track on how to get funded with the least amount of pain. - Jeff Bussgang, General Partner of Flybridge Capital Partners & Author of Mastering the VC Game The Fundraising Rules should be required reading for entrepreneurs raising any round of capital. These tools will increase your odds of successfully getting funded, raising the right amount of money at the right valuation, and starting off the relationship with your investors in the best possible way. - Jed Katz, Managing Director of Javelin Venture Partners, Co-Founder of Rent.net & Move.com This book is a clear step-by-step guide to the funding process and a great reference for founders preparing for that rite of passage. - Erick Schonfeld, Executive Producer at DEMO & Former Editor of TechCrunch A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Many of the world's best entrepreneurs are bad at fundraising. At first, I didn't understand why, since the skills used in fundraising are many of the same skills used to create businesses. Over time, however, the reason these athletes underperform became clear. They don't possess a fundamental understanding of the fundraising process. They have the skills, but not the knowledge. My mission in writing this book is to illuminate the fundraising process so that engaging these venture capitalists is no longer like walking in the dark. I will provide a detailed account of both the key steps in fundraising and the rationale behind them. The information should help entrepreneurs see through the eyes of the venture capital investor, enabling them to better understand motivations of investors and how best to engage them. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mark Peter Davis is a serial entrepreneur, community organizer and venture capitalist. He is a Venture Partner at High Peaks Venture Partners and a co-founder of Venwise, Devspark, Founder Shield and several other companies. Mark is the author of a blog (mpd.me) that addresses industry topics and offers guidance to entrepreneurs on how to raise venture capital.
