I’ve worked with Attorney Chad Busk on several questions about our website and other business-related matters. He always quickly responds to our legal questions. He knows how to clearly and concisely draft content for our website and technology contracts. When required, he negotiates with other attorneys in a cost-effective and constructive manner. And he uses plain English rather than legal jargon. I highly recommend him.

I found Chad Busk on LinkedIn when a prospective client sent me a complicated software development and support agreement. Chad quickly reviewed the agreement, alerted me to the numerous ways that it put me at a disadvantage, and revised it to be fair and balanced for both parties. Although this deal didn’t work out, Chad’s valuable advice will help me with future clients. Chad also advised me about forming a Michigan limited liability company to protect my personal assets and gave me some excellent marketing advice. I plan to use Chad for future projects. He’s a cost-effective and responsive information technology/business attorney with an excellent legal and practical skillset.

The BUSKLAW April Newsletter: On the Foolish Tension Between Lawyers and Business Folks

From my colleague Mark Grossman comes this joke (just in time for April Fool's Day): A man in a hot air balloon is lost. He reduces the balloon's height and spots a man below. He shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon hovering at 30 feet." " You must be a lawyer," says the balloonist. "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but useless." The man below says, "You must work in business." "I do," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," says the lawyer, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault." ______________________________________...

The BUSKLAW November Newsletter: About the U.S. Army's Extraterrestrial Technology Acquisition Contract!

This post would appear to be a Halloween prank, but it isn't. On October 10, 2019, the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command signed a contract [or in government parlance, a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)] with To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, Inc. for the acquisition of the latter's ET(?) technology. The entire contract is available here , but I'll save you from the content that isn't worth your time. But first some history. Once there was a punk rock group called Blink 182 , founded by Tom DeLonge. Tom eventually became more enthused about UFOs than rock music and decided to seriously study unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP). He claims to have formed relationships with top government officials to eventually disclose to the public what's behind UAP. In the meantime, Tom formed a public corporation, To the Stars Academy (TSA), to be a "revolutionary collaboration between academia, industry and pop culture to a...

The BUSKLAW January Newsletter: Catching Typographical Errors in Contracts

“Career Path” is an overused term to describe how we should conduct our professional lives to reach our full potential. In my experience, most self-help books on this subject assume that we have more control over our lives than we actually do. The old adage, “Man proposes, God disposes,” is not evident in these books. And yet there are ways for contracts lawyers to reach their full potential - how about by catching those pesky typographical errors ("typos")? Is there anything more rewarding to a contracts lawyer than catching a typographical error? Of course not. I once did a long and complicated real estate license agreement, only to have my client point out the fact that on page 39, section 1, paragraph A, subsection (i), clause (z) of the contract I drafted, the word “thee” should be “the.” I can’t tell you enough about the warm fuzzy feeling that this observation created in the depths of my soul! At best, typographical errors are embarrassing and have only...
