Rush on Business : Iowa Corporate Lawyer & Attorney : Rush Nigut of Brick Gentry Law Firm : Serving Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, & Sioux City

How Business Gets Done, Words of Wisdom from Central Iowa Experts has hit the virtual bookshelves at www.lulu.com. I am honored to be a contributing author with several respected peers in our business community. My chapter is on the Partnership Prenuptial where I discuss the importance of drafting a  buy-sell agreement from the beginning of your business relationship.

The costs of litigating a business dispute can easily run in excess of $100,000 per side while a buy-sell agreement usually costs less than a a couple of thousand dollars. Unquestionably most business owners would rather concentrate on running their business than spending time in court.

The case of Scott Janke, the former town manager of Fort Myers Beach, Florida has many people talking. It's no ordinary employee termination. Janke was terminated because his wife is an adult entertainment star. 

A good article on the subject comes via Jonathan Turley's res ipsa loquitur blog. Turley's blog has been included in the Top 100 Legal Blogs in the ABA Journal and the Best Blog in Legal Theory. As you will read in the article, employment terminations of this nature are becoming more and more common.

Major league baseball teams have not exactly been known for their employee relations over the years. But the Boston Red Sox are an excellent example of how treating employees the right way can pay big dividends. 

Read attorney Jay Shepherd's post on Division-leading employee management to find out why.

Due to a fantastic baseball season as the coach of nine year olds the posts have been few and far between the last couple of months. (I routinely write at night and it's been tough to fit it all in).  I'll resume more regular posting very soon. Frankly, I am flattered by the number of people that continue to read this blog even though the posting has been sparse lately.

In the meantime, be sure to check out Iowa's newest law blog, David Nelmark's Mixed Martial Arts Law Blog. It's a fascinating niche blog and David is a great writer. He is also not shy about taking on bloggers he doesn't agree with. Should be a fun blog to follow. It's great to see some great new Iowa law bloggers getting into the action.
