[Leica] Question about photography business

[Bernard Quinn]

Brian,

I think this is the sort of thing which needs an attorney. I am sure many of us on the list have names they could suggest. Mine for an attorney in your area is Rebecca Freeman. She is a very smart lawyer, and could certainly head you in the right direction. 

Please let me know if you need her contact information.
