By acting as a General Counsel for a company, Mr. Slater is aligned with management's interests and knows from the "inside"

of management. Additionally, Mr. Slater can assist CEOs and other executives by allowing them to delegate to him important
tasks, such as negotiating contracts, managing employees, selecting insurance policies, reducing risk, and assuring compliance
with all laws and regulations. Mr. Slater can also help with strategic planning, marketing, taxes, and finance.
Currently,
Mr. Slater is available to work as an in-house General Counsel or consultant for companies that can greatly benefit
