Maharishikaa answers Meranda's question about the transformative power of surrender. What is surrender, and what will happen if she surrenders when the ego is in action? Maharishikaa speaks to the inconceivable processes of transformation that happen through this practice. The ego can only be in action if there is no surrender. If Meranda takes up the practice of surrendering to the Soul within, she is carried through life protected by the inner master, where nothing can shake her. However, if she were to let go of the master, then the ego can launch its attack once again. As Meranda deepens her surrender practices - her Sadhanaa - she will be strengthened in her ability to discern between the ego noise and the Truth Impulse and will thus be more able to refuse the ego and go with the Truth of her being. Maharishikaa illustrates the expansion of consciousness that starts to happen in all the realms of consciousness and the miraculous abilities that develop in a seeker, where previously impossible actions are suddenly effortless. #Maharishikaa #SurrenderPractice #SelfRealization Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

For some, unlocking style may seem superficial.  But to Meranda, the holistic stylist, style shouldn't put any negative ideas into a woman's (or man's) mind.

The three appellants, Ms. Dingwall, Mr.Russell, and Mr. Richet, were convicted of aggravated assault and various firearm offences in connection to a drive-by shooting occurring outside a residential house in British Columbia. At trial, the Crown's case was based on circumstantial evidence. The trial judge concluded that Mr. Russell and Mr. Richet were guilty as principals or aiders or abettors for all charges. Ms. Dingwall was found guilty as an aider or abettor for the charges relating to the drive-by shooting and as a principal or aider or abettor for the charges related to the burning of a truck. The three appellants appealed their respective convictions. The majority at the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeals. It held that the verdicts were not unreasonable. There was agreement with the trial judge that no inference other than guilt was available given the evidence and absence of evidence, assessed logically, and in light of human experience and common sense. In dissent, Butler J.A. disagreed with the disposition of Ms. Dingwall's appeal relating to the drive-by shooting charges. He would have allowed her appeal with respect to counts 3 to 6 and directed acquittals for those offences. He would have dismissed Ms. Dingwall's appeal from her other convictions and dismissed the appeals of Mr. Russell and Mr. Richet. In his view, the trial judge erred in concluding that the only rational inference to be drawn from the evidence was that Ms. Dingwall aided or abetted in the offences described under those counts. To Butler J.A., the trial judge failed to properly consider the lack of any evidence about Ms. Dingwall's activities before and during the shooting offences, and failed to consider the absence of evidence given her potential liability as a party, rather than a principal, to those offences. As Ms. Dingwall's participation in the offences was not the only rational inference on the evidence, the Crown could not be taken to have met its burden of proof and the trial judge's verdict was therefore unreasonable. Keywords Criminal law - Appeals, Evidence - Criminal law - Appeals - Unreasonable verdict - Circumstantial evidence -Parties to offence - Whether the trial judge erred in law in his determination that the appellants' guilt on counts 3, 4, 5 and 6 was the only reasonable conclusion available on the totality of the evidence. .

If you could pass Brit, you could worry about anybody else at all; you were fine.”“It's an entire system that you're trying to get where every little thing that fits into the process has been qualified and can be depended on. From the raw materials coming in the door to the viles, to the stoppers, to the machinery, the environment, the filters, the air quality and differentials – all of that stuff fitting together.” “With drug development, you're not having a life depend on you.

So, when you think about it in that context, the validation batches are very visible to regulatory authorities.”“Your batch record really is a document that's going to evolve. And if you look at the batch record for even the same step of a process, what that's going to look like when you're in the early phases of clinical development is different from what it's going to look like towards the end. It's going to be much more refined.”“There is a point where the process is the process. And as inefficient as it may be, it's what you have.” “Yes, your validation batches certainly count as launch stock as long as they pass all specs.” “When you go into validation, you've gotta have your suppliers identified. And quality plays a huge role in assessing your suppliers” “What it all comes down to is that preparing for the validation is something that you should be thinking about as you're making your later clinical batches, your Phase 2 batches especially.”“When you're in Phase Three it's not a place to be penny-pinching. The old saying is, ‘you drive for show, you put for dough.' When you're validating, you're putting for dough.” Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInJim Mencel on LinkedIn

What We Covered00:51 – Ed, Meranda and Brian introduce today's guest, Shelli Connelly, who discusses her background and speaks to some of the elements of filter validation  05:41 – Shelli talks about the process of selecting a filter and why not all filters are the same09:03 – The evolution and importance of sizing filters  11:26 – Shelli speaks to the shift to single-use disposable filters  13:05 – Qualifying a filter before validation  16:51 – Shelli explains the Bubble Point test  18:53 – Shelli expounds on everything that goes into filter validation22:57 – How to use filters in a media simulation challenge  25:07 – Shelli's philosophy on what to include in your filter validation  28:28 – Final recommendations Shelli would give regarding filter validation  Tweetable Quotes“I highly recommend reaching out to the filter vendors. They're your best support, especially with this process.”“Most people when you start with a drug process you're looking less than a hundred liters, knowing that your commercial back size could actually be 1500 liters. And then the question comes down to are you doing redundant filtration, are you utilizing two filters, are you utilizing one? To understand your product, I think the filter vendor can definitely still help with that.” “Normally if you're utilizing a sterilizing filter, you definitely have to run it through some type of sterilization process.”“A Bubble Point test is related to the micron-size of your filter, meaning if you have a 0.2 or a 0.45, those bubble points are gonna be different.”“I think utilizing your filter validation in conjunction with your media fill program – whatever that may be – they have to be synced and in alignment.”Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInShelli Connelly on LinkedIn

If you don't know what you're dealing with to start, it's hard to catalog it, make it consistently and answer questions about it.”“This is probably, in some folks' minds, the most important. It's the manufacturing of the drug substance and the drug product. If you don't have a process, you don't have a product.” “There are a few caveats to excipients. One of the things you'll want to recognize and a question that might come up is ‘are they of human or animal origin?' And the other big thing is ‘are they novel?'” “Any changes to anything in the program – process-wise or control-wise – late in the game could be a problem because you're gonna have to generate additional data. There's an unknown there. What does that change mean?” Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInOdd Couple Series

For example, I went into the office of the Vice President at this company to resign. I was a kid and I was just upset about certain stupid little things. And, when I walked in there, instead of leaving the job, I made a connection with him as another lifelong mentor.” “Comparing INDs, NDAs, BLAs, I've always had this fascination with putting stuff together into a story.” “I hope I look back in fourteen years and say, ‘These are the best days of my life.'” “One of the things I have to remind myself every day is that life really hasn't changed, I have.”“Everything I learned that is valuable and dicey and on the edge I learned from Dan [Torok].” “My goal, hopefully, is to grow CMC Live, make it more interactive and maybe have a live audience with questions.” “To truly build trust, I learned it's better for my colleagues to get to know me as a person.” “Two things control the way we operate and who we are: our brains and our gut.” Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedIn

That's a plus. It allows us to be flexible in our time when there is a global project. That flexibility has always been there at DSI.” “It's similar to managing the communication prior to the COVID environment. You have to establish how the person wishes to communicate, what level they wish to communicate on. So, when I meet a client, I ask them these questions directly. ‘Are you comfortable with this kind of communication? Do you want a weekly update? What's the cadence for meetings?'” “I have to integrate our team and the client's needs into a common goal and make sure we're meeting that.”“The challenges haven't changed with COVID, but our work environment has.”“Again it comes down to communication, transparency and open discussion. And that's one of the things I try to drive as a project manager.”“Keeping the communication up avoids risk.

So, I think what Dan [Torok] brings to the table is what a lot of clients look for. Some clients don't have that infrastructure and they blindly trust the CMO – and sometimes not always to the right result.” “I think people are now realizing that they do need to take a lot of different factors into consideration when selecting their CMO and they might need that assistance from experts like us.”“If you know that you have properly identified and characterized the development history of your product, and its pitfalls, and its areas of concern – and you've explored those – it really makes for a much more robust filing that stands up to scrutiny.” “We had a special external guest, Hedley Rees, who talked a bit about supply chain and how to create a value chain.” “Our job as regulatory reviewers, strategists, authors, CMC experts, is to decipher what the data is saying.” “I think that's the experience that Judy brought to bear is that holistic approach to a client's program.” Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInBrian Lihou on LinkedInMeranda Parascandola on LinkedInTaming the Big Pharma MonsterzcTR6b8N5mnoOKtALIZa

One is the mutual recognition procedure. The second one is the decentralized. And then the third one is the centralized procedure.” “If you get an approval in Europe, there are testings that you have to do for EU.” “Effective planning is the key. Because then basically you know when you're going to get approval and you'll know when you will be able to market.” “So, what is happening now, people who have filed in the UK can no longer sell their products in EU because UK walked away from the European Union. So now they are setting up their own procedures because, by the end of this year, they will be fully separated from the European Union.” “The mutual recognition that is between the FDA and EU, I see that as becoming more and more the norm.” “Once you get the approval [in the EU], you get it in all twenty-seven countries, including Norway, Iceland and I think Lithuania.”Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics – LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics – TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInAmber Sheriff on LinkedIn

And some of them might lead to surprises – you see in new impurities or new emulsion – and so you're going to have more development.” “It helps to have somebody on your side who understands production and knows when you're being taken advantage of and even upfront when you're making your contracts.” “It is very important to have one process owner – process champion – one person who represents the process.” Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInDave Adams on LinkedIn

What We Covered01:32 – Les Mintzmyer joins the show to discuss his background in biologics manufacturing, speak to CMO selection, and break down the RFP process 08:14 – Les speaks to the criteria he uses to identify the best CMO to work with and the importance of timely correspondence 18:59 – Lessons Les has gleaned from the RFP process throughout the years 24:34 – Challenges of communicating with foreign CMOs, including language and cultural barriers 32:15 – Les provides a brief overview of his experience in bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing 34:05 – Capacity and relationships in the CMO selection process 40:28 – Advice Les would give to those looking to potentially shift to a new CMO and why you should never place too much emphasis on a ‘name brand' 43:35 – Ed, Brian and Meranda thank Les for joining the show Tweetable Quotes“If you put the effort into getting a very detailed and exact request for proposal written, then the CDMO that is reviewing the request can determine if they have the resources to actually accomplish the task that you're looking for.”“The nice thing about having a good network is that you can certainly weed out the ones that you don't want to be involved.” “Every company wants everything yesterday.” “Tell you what, the money they'll spend on consultants early on is a drop in the bucket compared to change orders and change of scope and misunderstandings that occur later on.” “You can tell a lot about an organization if they'll let you take a look at their regulatory history, for instance, and look at their maintenance history. Those are two really key things.” “Most of the CMOs, they're not working at one hundred percent capacity. If they can get seventy or eighty [percent] they're pretty happy.”Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInLes Mintzmyer on LinkedIn

What We Covered00:43 – Colman Byrne joins the show to discuss his background in analytical chemistry and challenges he's observed in analytical method development and validation10:27 – Colman's recommendations for method development and validation plans15:04 – Colman speaks to the commonality of changing methods mid-stream 22:01 – Regulatory parameters that exist for analytical method development and validation for drug development 35:11 – Other physiochemical properties that can affect method development and the vital role that data plays in the validation process 48:32 – Ed, Brian and Meranda thank Colman for joining the show Tweetable Quotes“One of the difficulties is that when you're starting off with a molecule, you know relatively little about it. And, over the course of the development project, as you go further and further through pre-IND to Phase 1, Phase 3 and eventually into commercialization, you're constantly learning more and more about the molecule and about what can happen to it under different circumstances.” “It's typically less expensive to develop a solid test method than it is to develop a drug substance manufacturing process or to go through and manufacture bunches of batches of drug products. And so, it is really a question of trying to spend the appropriate resources at the appropriate time.”“Typically, you're looking at seven different parameters. The first one – one of the more important ones – is specificity, showing that you can, with a particular test procedure, separate out whatever you're looking to quantitate with that test method.” “You don't know and you can't know everything upfront, right away. You're always going to find more things out. Ideally, they're not going to be bad things that you have to do a lot to resolve. But, sometimes, that's what happens due to situations that are outside your control.” “You try to minimize the frequency in which you have these unfortunate learning experiences, but sometimes they're unavoidable. And by focusing your development upfront and looking at the available information and the potential pitfalls, then you can minimize the possibility of having what we call these unfortunate learning experiences that will cost time and money and cause potential delays.” “A validation of a test method should be a smooth process because you should expect that you know everything that could possibly gone wrong and will have addressed those before you do the validation. A validation is ideally just a rubber stamp to show that you have done, under control conditions, all the work that's needed to show that your data is accurate and precise and linear.” Relevant LinksAnalytical ServicesDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInColman Byrne on LinkedIn

So, the sooner, the better. You need to be upfront when you go to those meetings with the FDA. However, you don't ask a question for which you don't want to hear the answer.” (09:04)“So, it's not because you're going to get a breakthrough or a fast track that you're going to cut the corner and not have all the appropriate information that is required or expected by the FDA. However, what you could do is do a science-based or some justification that you could propose to the FDA to mitigate the risk and ensure that your product meets always the same quality and strength.” (17:52) “There are times where, as a consultant, you could provide the best of your knowledge, but then the sponsor will decide, ultimately, what to do and when to do it.” (27:00)Relevant LinksDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInCatherine Bernard on LinkedIn

What We Covered02:08 – Bettina Kaplan joins the show to discuss her background in quality assurance, compliance and auditing within the pharmaceutical industry09:43 – Trends in quality auditing that Bettina observed before the shutdown and strategies to ensure a successful audit12:48 – Bettina expounds on when it's appropriate to have an expert, such as an analyst or a drug substance chemist, present during an audit14:42 – Bettina speaks to challenges that Covid-19 has posed to auditing and how she would prepare for a virtual audit19:48 – Risks and dangers associated with not having regular audits during Covid-19 and the importance of having flexibility as an auditor24:36 – Bettina discusses the evolution and growing acceptance of virtual audits in the pharmaceutical industry, including potential benefits and disadvantages30:05 – Ed, Brian and Meranda thank Bettina for joining the showTweetable Quotes“The person [auditor] needs to be able to communicate properly. So, build a rapport with the auditee. When you build that rapport, auditees tend to tell you more than just your basic questions.” “So, if you have to cover manufacturing, analytical and all the quality systems in one day to do a thorough audit, there's no way you can do it with just one person. You need to have the other experts.” “The other issue is going to an audit. If you're from a location like where I live, I have to be in quarantine for two weeks before I can even go into an audit. And then I have to be in quarantine for two weeks after. It's not feasible. And there are a lot of states like that where we have personnel that need to be able to audit and they can't.” “How do you get the site that you're auditing to work with you? It's showing them that you're willing to work with them.” “A paper audit is never as effective as a virtual or on-site audit. A paper audit a lot of times can be used in conjunction with the on-site or virtual audit.” Relevant LinksLeadershipDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInBettina Kaplan on LinkedIn

And, I think that when companies take the time to do that upfront and build a registration strategy, ya know, ‘What does the product need to look like when it hits the market,' all the plans underneath that become that much more valuable and realistic.” “So, things change all the time. And so, whether you do a weekly meeting or a daily meeting or a sub-team, I just love that people know number one, what the change is because communication is the key. It's so multi-disciplinary. All these different disciplines depend on each other, so communicating change in a succinct way is very important.”“There's so many different ways to communicate what's important, what's the critical path, what are the milestones and what's important to focus on today.” “It's like anything in life. Unless you have a plan, there's no guarantee you're gonna get there. If you want to increase the probability that you're going to succeed, you need a plan that shows how you're gonna get there.” Relevant LinksInternational Council fo HarmonisationLeadershipDesign Space InPharmatics - LinkedInDesign Space InPharmatics - TwitterEdward Narke on LinkedInJudy Magruder on LinkedIn

  Did you know, you CAN like your lawyer? Whether you’re a sole proprietor, a CEO of a major corporation, or a medium-sized company owner, there are a lot of things you need to keep in mind to run your business smoothly. How well do you communicate with your employees? What steps do you take to ensure they are given equal opportunities? David Seserman, a successful Colorado civil trial attorney and the founding member of Seserman Law LLC, helps shed light on how businesses should handle their relationship with their employees. He believes that companies must provide equal opportunities among their subordinates. Highlighting the importance of proper communication and transparency in every organization, David gives advice on what businesses should do to prevent harassment from happening and elaborates on how attorneys can advocate for both the employer and employee’s rights and responsibilities. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Transparency and Employee Relationships with David Seserman   My name is David Seserman. I am a civil trial attorney with the law firm  Seserman Law (https://www.seserman.law/) . I use the term civil trial attorney for a very specific reason. I consider myself a trial attorney and not a litigator. The difference is a litigator is pretty good at pushing paper, arguing things, but is a bit uncomfortable at trial. A trial attorney enjoys going to trial and the challenges that that raises. I’ll give you an example. The way you can tell the difference between the two is if you are at a settlement conference and you are talking about resolving the case and the other side says to you, “David, if we can’t resolve this and settle this case here and now, then we’re going to go to trial.” If that’s an opportunity, you’re a trial attorney. If that’s a threat, you’re a litigator. We’re incredibly fortunate to have you on the podcast. I have my cohost, Meranda Vieyra. She’s with  (https://www.denverlegalmarketing.com/)  and we have David Seserman of Seserman Law. David, tell us a little bit about your business and who you serve. As a trial lawyer, you have to focus your practice. Most of my practice is in the realm of employment and employee benefits litigation. My employment law practice is fairly straightforward: age discrimination, gender discrimination, breach of employment contract, misappropriation of trade secrets cases and matters like that. I expand that to employee benefits because I have a fairly strong background in ERISA, that is retirement benefits, health and welfare benefits, benefits of that nature. I consider myself more of an HR attorney because I cover the gamut. I have always carefully maintained a practice where I represent both management and individuals. I feel like that gives me a much more balanced perspective and allows me to counsel whoever it may be, whether it’s a C-Suite executive leaving a company or management looking at, “How do we deal with a situation where one of our employees just walked out with some trade secrets?” I can counsel them a little bit better because I understand the arguments that both sides will make. For your practice, what’s your predominant geographic focus? For the most part, it’s Colorado. I am licensed in Colorado. I don’t hold a license to practice law anywhere else. That being said, I have handled matters all over the United States. Sometimes you get the call that says, “We need you or want to hire you in this case.” It could be a court appearance in New Orleans or it could be in Dallas. It depends, but the predominant focus for me is localized. I try to stay very involved in the Colorado community and I try to concentrate my practice here because it’s home and it’s what I know best. They don’t know you and they don’t know how long you’ve been in the law...

  The American Bar Association published a report stating that 90% of Americans cannot afford to pick up the phone and talk to an attorney. This is the reality with regards to the accessibility of legal services in America. Chris Ward, Independent Associate of LegalShield Business Solutions, talks about how LegalShield can provide individuals, families, and business owners unlimited access to a network of law firms across North America. Chris also shares that people can access LegalShield for a low monthly fee as opposed to high hourly costs of legal services elsewhere. Learn more as Chris demystifies business legal services and shares how he got into LegalShield, what their ideal client would be to help, implementing strict customer service, and more. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Demystifying Business Legal Services with Chris Ward and Co-Host Meranda Vieyra This is Chris Ward with  LegalShield Business Solutions (https://www.legalshield.com/) . If you are looking for affordable access to quality legal representation and you don’t have any, this is for you. Welcome to the show, Chris. I’m joined by my cohost, Meranda Vieyra from  (https://www.legalshield.com/) . He works in the Colorado and Wyoming areas. You’ve been with the company for quite some time. Thank you. It’s an honor to be invited onto the show. Tell us a little bit about your business and who you serve. My name is Chris Ward with LegalShield. In a nutshell, LegalShield gives individuals, families and business owners unlimited access to a network of law firms all across North America. As opposed to worrying about high hourly cost, people have unlimited access for a low flat month-to-month fee. Because of that, we have over 1.7 million households over 100,000 businesses across North America protected now. Backing up, how in the world did you get into LegalShield? It was a chance encounter. My background was the US Army. I served proudly for eleven years. The true Hollywood story is that in my last year, I was applying for jobs here, there and everywhere. I lived in Monterey, California and I was forced into entrepreneurship. The only job I got called back on was they wanted me to check IDs at the local British pub for $11 an hour. I didn’t think that my resume was only worth $11 an hour. I decided to follow a childhood dream of mine, which was video production. I’m not doing big projects, but I recognize the fact that this was the birth of YouTube and that entertainment was going to change from half-hour shows loaded with commercials to brief fifteen to twenty-minute videos without commercials. That’s what I focused on. Almost immediately, we resurrected a jazz record label. I saw an opportunity. There was an incredible catalog of albums that nobody had access to. I was always a fan of jazz. I played trumpet growing up through middle school and high school. I started the company. I collaborated with an architect that built a sound studio. He had no knowledge of sound engineering himself, but he was passionate about his area. We collaborated together and we hired an attorney. He charged us a $10,000 retainer. However, I was very naïve having never used an attorney before outside of the office to get my will done. I thought that $10,000 would last us years until I got our first invoice. As I got the invoice for a little over $1,500, I said, “This is in case of an emergency break glass.” I put the attorney on the wall and just started doing what a lot of business owners do. I started Google searching legal questions, downloading legal forms, writing contracts myself and praying to God that they never ended up on a judge’s desk. I’m absolved of any guilt, but now I’ve come to terms with that. A salesman came into my office one day and talked to me and my partner. He said, “If I could show you a way to protect and grow your business,...

Dave Mayhan and Sarah O’ Brien are attorneys in Butler Snow specializing in litigation, particularly in defense of real estate and construction professionals. They share the typical challenges their clients face and how they are engaging with them, as well as walk us through their expertise in real estate and construction legalities. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Butler Snow: Your Guide To Legal Matters with Dave Mayhan, Sarah O’ Brien, and Guest Co-Host Meranda Vieyra We have  (https://www.denverlegalmarketing.com/) . Welcome to the show. Hello, Bob and Meranda. Tell us a little bit about Butler Snow and what you do? Butler Snow is the law firm with over twenty offices and way over 40 specialty areas of law. Sarah and I have been in Denver for our entire careers. We’ve got a combination of nearly 50 years of practice. We specialize in litigation and in particular the defense of real estate and construction professionals. I think about driving into Denver and driving over here. It’s like cranes are sprouting from every nook and cranny. I would imagine given the pace of construction, not only in Denver but across the nation that you guys are busy. What does your typical client look like? I don’t know if there’s a typical client. The construction industry involves a broader range of professionals from those involved in the development, design and contractor professionals to inspectors. It provided a lot of employment here in town and it will continue to do so as people move here. Every client is unique and every subspecialty has different issues. We were all collectively trying to figure out how we can best plan and develop proper construction both in residential and commercial real estate as this town grows. We’ve seen growth in the past, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. As you guys look out across your client base and the typical challenges that your clients face, we were talking about being proactive to start with. When you guys are either engaged or retained for somebody for business, what are some of the proactive things that you could advise somebody in the trades that you represent that they might consider? One of the first things we would recommend is that you need to own your contracts, which is more than keeping the paper. Often somebody will hand you a contract that’s a standard agreement that is going to immediately be bent toward their benefit. We recommend that those be reviewed and modified and negotiated so that your contracts are to your benefit. From things all the way from limitations of liability to insurance issues, indemnity language up front. That’s a very important thing to address before you even start the project. For me, if I was to read a contract and I’m not a contract attorney, I may not see the nuance. There may be a piece that sticks out at you when you first look at it and go, “I wouldn’t sign it that way.” Do you find that given the pace of construction in Denver, that there are a lot of contracts that are signed quickly? If so, what would you advise if people are going down that road? We’re better than some. Smart people don’t read all their contracts. There’s an assumption or maybe a trust in someone. When you develop a team and you’re in a construction project, there needs to be that trust. Oftentimes, even smart people don’t read their entire contract and they take things for granted. When you do read that, you need legal expertise to know how your dispute resolution process is handled. Whether you’re going to be handling that upfront, how well you need to document your work. Even in the post-construction phrase, how do the warranty and resolution process work? All...

  When you look around and you think of lawyers and law firms, you think of the big ones. Truth be told, the majority of the law firms in Colorado and beyond are small law firms. Most of the time, they’re solo practitioners. Meranda Vieyra of Denver Legal Marketing says her goal is to make market space for solo practitioners and small law firms. Meranda’s goal is to have more people start choosing to spend the money that they allocate for legal services by supporting small law firms, keeping their lights on, keeping the Colorado economy booming, and supporting this level of small business in that industry. Meranda explains why the service she provides is unique and why the business community has taken notice. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Meranda Vieyra on Servicing Solo Practitioners And Small Law Firms With Legal Marketing I’m the owner of Denver Legal Marketing. I work with solo practitioners and small law firms in Colorado and beyond. My ultimate goal is to make some market space in the Colorado business community and beyond for the small law firms of the world, which are essentially small business. We are incredibly fortunate. I am in the world headquarters of Denver Legal Marketing (https://www.denverlegalmarketing.com/) with Meranda Vieyra. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us a little bit about your business and who you serve. Thanks for having me, Bob. I’m excited to talk to you. I founded Denver Legal Marketing. My business turns three on my daughter’s birthday in February. I’ve been very lucky to be successful. I have great clients. My sweet spot is solo practitioners and small law firms. I started out with a Colorado-focus, a Denver-focus and I’m looking to support my own community but word of my marketing firm has spread. At times, I’m working with lawyers in New York, Nevada, and California. You’re widely covered and known in Denver. There’s a lot of press about you. Why do you think that is? I’m a little bit unique when it comes to what a marketing professional or somebody in Colorado legal marketing looks like. I’m 5’1” and I am a working mom. I’ve been in Colorado law for twenty years. The way that I serve my clients and the types of clients that I serve is unique. Nobody else is doing this and so the business community especially has taken notice. You decided in a niche, for the potential client of yours and they reach out to you. How do they find you? Where do they find you on social media? LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/merandavieyra/) is my only place for social media. That is the easiest ROI when it comes to reaching other lawyers. I’m trying to reach lawyers and lawyers are playing on LinkedIn. About 90% of the lawyers in our country have LinkedIn profiles. The majority of my clients come through word of mouth. I’ve been in law for two decades. I’ve worked hard to protect my reputation. When I say what I’m going to do, then I do it. That travels. They come through word of mouth. They go to my website for confirmation of reputation and then they call. Everyone assumes once your business doors are open unless you get sued or unless something happens, you're good.
