In the October 2006 issue of New Jersey Business Magazine, partner John D. Cromie provides commentary regarding small business in New Jersey. In “Attorneys, Accountant and Bankers: Trusted Advisors for Small Businesses,” Cromie discusses the relationship between small business and their bankers, accountants, and attorneys.
“The lawyer, the accountant, and the banker, in many respects, serve as real partners with the entity, trying to understand the business, its specific needs, how it fits into the marketplace, and how its needs can be efficiently addressed.”
On the law front, Cromie says that in an age of legal specialization, small companies nonetheless need well-rounded, problem solving attorneys who have a broad legal knowledge base, with specialized attorneys used as needed.
