** OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER (BUT PLEASE READ): This video contains my general (ie: not specific to your particular situation) thoughts about the areas of law I practice in, so it is not—and cannot be—a substitute for legal advice. I do my best to give you accurate, in-depth and up-to-date information to make the law more accessible and understandable. But the law is always changing. So I can’t make any promises that what you’ve heard today continues to be the case as when I published it. Before making decisions for your business, especially if you have legal questions, it’s always best to seek personalized advice from qualified experts. And while I am a lawyer, I do not become your lawyer until you and I have signed a legal services agreement.
