Joel Ankney is a business lawyer who helps people buy, sell, and protect their businesses.
Joel's books are designed to demystify intricate legal procedures by explaining them in simple language, giving you a head start in understanding what your lawyer already knows. His books help you identify, understand, and navigate legal issues associated with business acquisitions, sales, and startups. Their content can help you make better decisions, answer process questions, improve your relationship with your lawyer (lawyers love educated clients), and potentially lower your legal fees.
"Here's the Deal: Everything You Wish a Lawyer Would Tell You About Buying a Small Business" has been used at business schools and featured on multiple Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) podcasts.
