The following professional services are available.
A. Legal Representation:
- Legal representation in solving complex business problems. Licensed to practice law in Oregon and Washington. Other jurisdictions may require association with attorneys authorized to practice is such states.
- Managing a company’s outside counsel or overseeing the work of its in-house counsel. This service will likely require introducing other attorneys with specific credentials and expertise that is matched to a client’s requirements. Such referrals are first required to have signed a Code of Conduct that places the client’s economic interests ahead of the attorney’s. In such cases Nichols ‘vouches’ for the attorney to whom the work is referred.
B. Advise on the Process of Raising Capital:
- Provide mentoring, counsel and insights into how to attract investors.
- Offering suggestions on corporate structure, management and board/advisors that
will increase the likelihood of investment.
- Present novel ideas with respect to returns to investors (ROI).
- Consult with the CEO or boards of directors during the funding effort.
- Possible introduction to a major financial source, one with a ‘heart.’
C. Member of Board of Directors or Advisory Board.
- Join board of directors or serve as a member of the advisory board. Specific milestones and other objective standards will be put into place so that the company is able to measure the contributions.
- Recommend other persons known to Nichols to become candidates for boards of directors or advisory boards. Here again, Nichols will ‘vouch’ for such persons and their commitment, skills and results-orientated behavior.
D. Resource to China, Special Introductions and Stories with a Message:
- One of my greatest satisfactions is making introductions to Jin Lan (www.chinaselections.com) for companies interested in doing business in China.
