I have always thought if I had not studied business and marketing in college, I would have gone into law. People, companies, countries, and even our planet Earth have their own rights. These "rights" which are generally the basis of modern law and most legal systems, have always interested me... but most of all I like business law. Business law is concerned with those behaviors that use up most of the time and effort of most people. I mean dealing with money, the things we buy or sell, and how we as consumers and/or producers are generally protected from flawed products and services. It's a world of laws, and I would imagine Germany is one of the more "legal minded" countries around.

A couple of days ago I met for the first time the lawyer who is taking care of legal matters for us, we had always been in contact by phone and email before... he was recommended to us by a highly reputable attorney, so we never felt the need for a face to face meeting before giving him our work. Nice man... relaxed, but obviously knowledgeable; straight forward, but smiling. All in all, I think we made the right decision to outsource our legal matters to this gentleman. Cookie Cabana is now a protected name in Europe, since our application has been filed and accepted, and this application takes precedence over any future requests for this name. We also talked about a few other legal points, especially liability insurance.

Do you remember the case of the man who sued McDonald's because their coffee was too hot? In our case, of course "Cabana" cookie bases will always be freshly made from the most wholesome bio (organic) ingredients, and we will deliver them "cool to the touch", but you never know... as Cat Stevens used to sing, "Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world".
