Two years ago, on Simchat Torah (October 7, 2023), I was with my family in a bomb shelter in Jerusalem. As the magnitude became apparent, the country was in shock. The streets of Jerusalem were so quiet I could hear the cats scurrying around. Since then, fathers and mothers,

When we launched Albrecht Law over a year ago, the mission was to create a Special Forces of law firms; a firm for top-notch lawyers who are invigorated by legal work, but also dedicated to integrating work with family. This past week, I have been in Israel with my family, and I

Classic. I tell clients all the time - go with the cheaper legal option and your deal will end up blowing your balls off.

Eli Albrecht Good thread.

This is a good view from the buy side that also applies to SaaS - don’t make the mistake of thinking that a super lean, founders only, indie hacker type setup is the most valuable just because it makes the most profit. A better staffed company is probably worth more.

What is it about top-U.S. MBA programs that make students think they know more than they do? I am actually envious at the massive amount of confidence these folks have despite knowing very little about M&A.

I heard pro-Israel content is $7,000 per video. Shai Albrecht posts an average of 5 videos a day, 6 days a week. So, we are due about $850,000/month. Should I send the invoice to Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו?

I spoke to a young lawyer, and in the conversation, they said, "I am willing to work hard". My response was, to be successful, you have to love working hard. Work hard at work and work hard to be dedicated to the family. If you resent the work, you'll never be a great lawyer,

My son came home from school today and asked to play catch. I said, yes. It seems so simple, but there was a time in my life. I said, “no” so many times he stopped asking. A few years before leaving BigLaw I dedicated myself to being a good Dad with the same tenacity I

Apparently, it is because I am Jewish and love money. Okay.

A few months ago, an Indy Sponsor came to me with an LOI on one of the most complex deals I have seen. It had issues that are landmines if not handled extremely well. The Seller was rep'd by a very sharp BigLaw firm who knew how to negotiate these issues. I quoted a fixed fee

Lawyers like to complain about how hard their job is, sitting in front of a computer. So, anyway, there was a time (when my glutes were larger), I taught people how to rescue hostages from upper-floor windows. If you invert upside-down, you can sometimes get two or more shooters
