An Important Update & Heartfelt Thanks

Friends and Colleagues,

I wanted to share a quick but important update regarding this social media page. As some of you may recall from my announcement in 2023, I made an exciting career transition. After having the privilege of serving as your Law Concierge and providing Fractional General Counsel services through FIELDS VAN RIJN PLLC, I accepted a new role as Associate General Counsel, Labor & Employment at Valiant Integrated Services.

If you have recently had a baby or adopted a child, you should update all of your estate planning documents. You want to ensure that you have appropriately planned for your new addition, both with regard to beneficiary designations as well as care.
Additionally, the aging of your children may also trigger the need for reconsideration. When your child turns 18, he or she becomes an adult in the eyes of the law. It is wise to review decisions you made when he/she was younger and update them as appropriate.

"Joanetta Fields van Rijn provides comprehensive legal advice and strategic counsel to entrepreneurs and small businesses. She effectively covers a broad range of topics essential to running an enterprise, including employment, human resource policies, benefits, risk analysis, wage and hour issues, business contracts, real estate contracts, and even bankruptcy.
I have benefited from her advice on complex employment law questions, discrimination and retaliation investigations, and international employment arrangements. Joanetta’s business acumen and legal savvy allow her to explain complex laws and bring clarity on the issues – all mixed with a good dose of humor and real-life experience! I have learned something new in every discussion I’ve had with Joanetta, and am continually amazed at her innovative approach to nailing down the relevant legal issues and developing solutions." - Jenny M.

During the last week of January, National CRNA Week recognizes Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and their commitment to patient safety.
Each year, CRNAs provide more than 49 million services across the country. They work in surgery centers, dental and ophthalmology offices, pain management facilities, and hospitals. Not only do they provide direct care to patients, but they are also an integral part of many medical practices.
The services of a CRNA are invaluable to both the patient and the service providers who rely on them to provide professional services. Additionally, in rural areas, CRNAs become the primary providers of anesthesia care. Their skill and accuracy allow patients to undergo surgery safely, relieve pain, and avoid unnecessary pain.

Today, most organizations rely on models that are goal-based. That is, they rate an organization’s effectiveness based on how well it achieves its aims. However, not all organizations take the same approach or use the same model. If your organization uses a certain model, then your indicators should be derived from that model. Using a set of indicators that doesn’t match up with the organization’s pre-existing model will, of course, only produce bad results.

: Choose an executor for your will.
The executor is the person who reads your will and sees that your wishes are carried out. They’ll handle all those special giftings (like your pet or the train set) and use the funds in your estate to take care of paying any debts you have left.

"The Law Concierge has been a tremendous asset to me. As a brand new doctor straight out of residency, I had limited experience on how to evaluate and negotiate contract offers in order to establish my practice. I went straight to Joanetta to make sure I was signing a fair contract. She drafted each of my proposals to maximize the benefits I was entitled to. She brought up proposals and revisions I had never considered. She was also extremely helpful in breaking down the legal jargon for me and was efficient in the use of my time. She would always respond to my inquiries promptly. The whole process of my contract negotiation took only four days! Without question, working with Joanetta has put me in an advantageous position concerning the contract benefits I have been able to obtain. I highly recommend Joanetta’s professional and courteous services! " - Dr. Mitchell
