The differences between a regular bankruptcy attorney and a business bankruptcy attorney can be the difference between actually filing for bankruptcy and finding another way to liquidate and save some of your business.

A business bankruptcy attorney does not necessarily go to school longer than a regular attorney, but they do however take more business classes than others. The last two years in law school is a time to choose your specialty, that time can be spent on family law, business law, criminal law, or other sub divisions of law. During this time the lawyers to be are spending a lot of time getting to know people and specified laws in their chosen fields. These type of attorneys would take classes that center around business law, either corporate, sole proprietors and/ or partnerships.

Contingency fees are often a key component in cases that have the potential for a very high payoff for the client that does not have the resources or desire to pay a law firm by the hour.

A contingency fee is the cost of legal representation when payment to an attorney is based upon a percentage of what a client receives in a settlement or judgment. While contingency cases are well-known to the public in the personal injury realm, business contingency cases can also be extremely viable for clients that have a business law issue. In either specialty, when a case comes along that a company does not have the resources to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars in legal fees, the case is frequently dropped out or not engaged initially out of economic necessity. Contingency fees allow these cases to be pursued.

The trick of expertly handling contingency cases is to combine large-firm expertise with small-firm attention while reducing overhead.

The best business law firms in a given state or region are renowned for successful outcomes achieved in at least one or two, and preferably several, well-chosen contingency cases. Certain prudent firms versed in business contingency cases may carry three or more promising contingency cases at all times. A single such case may consume up to 20 percent of a firm’s available time, but typically generates between 40 and 50 percent of the same firm’s revenues.

The crucial part of any business firm’s contingency strategy is that these cases must be well chosen. The ideal formula is to have a relatively small number of such cases in the game, as a loss in a time-consuming and hard fought contingency case could seriously impair even the most aggressive firm’s bottom line.

Investing in commercial investment real estate can be one of those things that gets you out of your comfort zone.

The main reason is most of us have not had a lot of practical experience with investing in commercial real estate. Especially over a long period of time.

I remember when I was a little kid the piggy bank. I went from the piggy bank the the Savings and Loan (Remember those?) and then to a CD, and then to a money market account and then to a mutual fund, etc.

Out of your comfort zone investing.

It was a number of years before I considered commercial investment real estate. Or was even exposed to the possibilities of building my wealth through commercial investment real estate.

It all starts with your first commercial property – whether it be an apartment building, mini-storage, office building, strip mall…as long as the net income and property type fits your goals, it doesn’t matter. But you’ve got to get started with number one, then focus on the next steps.

This will involve getting out of your comfort zone, and you 100% need to get out of your comfort zone to be successful. To be a successful commercial real estate investor especially.
