The Business Man's Lawyer
Jeffrey C. O'Brien

Thank you for visiting jeffreyobrienesq.com.  Welcome to my website! 

My name is Jeff O'Brien, and I am a business, real estate and estate planning attorney in
Minneapolis, Minnesota with the law firm of Mansfield Tanick & Cohen.  You can read my full biography on the "About Me" page.

A lot of people who meet me -- including many of my clients -- tell me that I'm not your typical attorney; they tell me that I'm as much a business man as I am a lawyer, because I analyze transactions not only from the legal side in terms of risks and liabilities, but also from the practical side like a business person does.  They say that I'm "The Business Man's lawyer."  I take that title as a high compliment.

One of the things that sets me apart from other attorneys is that I have a strong passion for networking, both in person and online via various social media sites.  I've built my legal practice via networking and I leverage my many connections to help others in business.  It is this passion that led me to create this site.  Here you will find a clearinghouse of sorts to all my networking activities.  My SocialSpace page contains links to my various networking organizations, as well as several professional organizations in which I am active. 

I also write a lot of articles on various topics of business, real estate and estate planning law.  The Articles page of this site contains links to these articles and I hope that you find these articles both interesting and informative. 

Sometimes, though, I have a commentary on a new case or a new law that cannot wait for the next date of a particular publication.  Other times, I might have a marketing tip or a referral to a good book on business, real estate or marketing that I want to share with you.  That's where my blog, The Business Man's Lawyer, comes in.  Check back often for updates, as I try to provide a few nuggets of wisdom each week.

Finally, be sure to check out the Media page.  I am fortunate to have a few clients in media, and they must like me since they keep finding opportunities for me to appear on the radio or to be quoted in print, be it part of their own publication(s) or show(s) or as part of others'.  You can hear my radio appearances and read my print coverage on the "Media" page. 

Please enjoy this website, and check back often for new and valuable information.  Also, I welcome comments, so if you have any, please email them to me at jeffrey@jeffreyobrienesq.com.

Thanks again for visiting!
