Handshakes are Not Enough: Why Entrepreneurs Need Business Law Attorneys
Episode 145
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
Jeff welcomes Santo Spataro of The Spataro Law Firm, a trusted referral partner whose roots in a family-owned restaurant shaped his instincts for entrepreneurship long before he attended law school. Although Jeff and Santo share similarities in their personal and entrepreneurial approach to business—namely, an emphasis on integrity, expertise, and a client-centered style—they recognize the importance of specialized skills in the practice of law. In this discussion, Jeff and Santo focus mainly on the needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs. They explain the scope of business law, the night sweats that come from being a "jack of all trades" attorney, and how death and money change things for business families and entrepreneurial partners. You can contact Santo of The Spataro Law Firm at https://spatarolaw.com/ or call (717) 900-9437 to learn more.
