Nella Bloom, Managing Member
As outside general counsel, I help small and new businesses throughout their business life cycle, from startup to shut-down. For example:
(1) Prospective business owners need advice on where to base their companies, how to divide equity, and what types of protection they require when starting up;
(2) Later-stage businesses need contracts and advice about funding or collections; and
(3) End-stage companies need a trusted advisor to help them work through asset sales, business divorces, bankruptcies, or dissolutions.
My practice is unique, since my clients represent an eclectic mix of industries and sectors, in different parts of their life cycles. In addition to helping start new businesses, I work with companies in the throes of buying another entity, as well as those selling their assets or closing down. I’m a business owner myself, so I deeply understand the mindset of an entrepreneur, and the personal aspect of being a business owner.
I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and I’m a frequent presenter on issues relating to small and emerging business and corporate bankruptcy. My recent presentations include “Maximizing the Value of Your Business: Simple Steps to Prepare Your Business for the Future” with Paul Visokey, President and Founder of Stony Hill Advisors; “Creating Your Real Estate Business,” and “Starting Up a New Business: What Everyone Should Know” with Timothy Carroll, CPA, of Drucker & Scaccetti. My articles have been published in the New York Law Journal, The Legal Intelligencer, and the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal, and most recently I was a contributing author to the hot-off-the-press The New ROI: Return on Individuals, now available on Amazon. And I was a Pennsylvania Rising Star in 2018 and 2019 according to SuperLawyers Magazine.
I’m a 2001 cum laude graduate of Hamilton College and a 2006 graduate of Syracuse University College of Law. At Syracuse, I was a Dean’s Scholar and served on the Law Review as Lead Articles Editor. I am licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. I’m a native Philadelphian and I live in the East Passyunk neighborhood with my family.
