by Ellie Gibbard on October 19, 2010

The world is changing around us…

…and it’s changing rapidly.  Advances in technology continue to influence the way we work and live, and innovation continues to affect the way people interact with the world around them.  These advancements continue to have a profound impact on businesses in virtually every industry, and the legal field is not exempt.

The purpose of The Entrepreneurial Lawyer is to explore issues and trends that exist at the intersection of business and law.  The Entrepreneurial Lawyer will provide fresh perspectives from Ellie Siegel Gibbard, an ambitious lawyer and business consultant with a JD/MBA based in Philadelphia.

This blog will feature guest posts from notable established attorneys, junior attorneys, entrepreneurs and established business owners, among others.  We are always open to your ideas and suggestions.  We love comments so don’t be shy.

Thanks for reading,

    Ellie,

    Woo hoo! Welcome to the world of blogging. I’ve been blogging since 2003. In that time I’ve been able to meet lots of interesting people, learned a lot about my industry, and found my ‘voice.’

    I wish you more of the same!

    So, what are your thoughts on the most important “intersections of business and law?”

    Patience… we’re just getting our wheels greased here on esquiremba.com. I love that you are excited and ready to jump right in. What would you say are “the most important intersections?”

    I’m probably biased but I have really high hopes for this blog.

    I think based on your unique perspectives and the incredible network of brilliant people you have access to, this blog should be a huge hit in the legal community.

    My perception is that business is rarely discussed in the legal field to the degree that it needs to be. Knowing you for as long as I have I’m confident that the business perspective you will bring to the conversation should turn a few heads.

    Welcome to the blogosphere.

    Hmmm… I’m not sure, but the mortgage paperwork mess seems to be an issue. Your thoughts?

    Sorry for my delayed response, but I think the mortgage situation is absolutely worth discussing. I’m attending a full-day seminar next week on that topic, and I’ll be posting my thoughts after I’ve had the chance to dig a little deeper into the issue.
