A skilled attorney with international business experience
Attorney Kuslan was a businessman before he began his practice -- in a start-up tech firm, a family-owned import-export business, a household name in consumer electronics and a century-old Fortune 1000. This experience--as executive, middle manager, salesman, marketer--gives him an insight into your business most attorneys don't have.
As a business owner with a growing clientele, Rich admires the determination of those who envision filling market needs in ways others don't yet see. Many of the obstacles confroniting a growing business may be prevented, minimized or resolved with proactive legal guidance. Others must be dealt with when they present themselves.
Generally, it is less expensive to assess and attempt to minimize problem legal areas before they occur. But Rich also understands from first-hand experience the need to vigorously protect the company from attack and to zealously procure advantage.
Rich has been an invited speaker at the American Bar Association, Section of International Law Conference; World Trade Week; Citibank; Columbia Law School; the Localization Institute World Conference and other venues. He has been quoted by the ABA Journal, the Foundation for Law, Justice and Society; the Huffington Post and many weblogs. Rich has also provided services as a consultant to senior level executives of major multi-nationals, such as GE Medical Systems, Timken, Corning, Lucent, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, United Technologies and other Fortune 500 companies.
