Nina L. Kaufman, Esq. has been an SBA Small Business Champion, an entrepreneurship Influencer (Forbes Magazine), Entrepreneur.com columnist and blogger, and go-to legal advisor for countless New York business owners. In 2021, she moved to a state she had never seen. And, she’s walking away from a successful 25-year entrepreneurial career to start a new chapter of her life. One that allows her the freedom to explore what’s next without being tethered to what’s now. Why? Because “the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Kaufman Business Law is no longer taking clients and Nina is going on sabbatical to pursue professional and personal growth. If you’re curious about what Nina is up to, visit her personal site at NinaKaufman.com.An educator at heart, Nina has reached hundreds of thousands of business owners over the years through her media appearances, articles, podcasts, and frequent speaking at business conferences. Nina believes that small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and deserve to be supported and protected. As a seasoned business owner, she understands first-hand the financial demands, commitment, and “blood, sweat, and tears” of being an entrepreneurial leader. Building her own business from the ground up gave her perspective and real-life experience that many corporate and legal advisors lack. She parlayed that into her book, The Entrepreneur's Prenup: How to Choose a Business Partner Who Won't [bleep] You, available on Amazon.com. In her personal life, Nina enjoys running 5K races with her husband and chanting Torah. (Not simultaneously). She’s been well-equipped for life with a strong sense of humor that served her as both a lawyer and as a former stand-up comic in NYC. Nina received her Bachelor’s degree from Wellesley College (cum laude), her Master’s degree from the London School of Economics & Political Science, and her law degree from Boston University.
