I'm a Paris-born, London-bred, Tel Aviv-residing corporate and commercial international lawyer, working with a ton of high-tech companies and also starting to dabble in my own tech ideas. I also help to organise some LGBT professional networking in the TLV area (especially for tech professionals).

Any feedback? :)

Thanks- looks good but unless i'm missing something, doesn't seem to really do what I was looking for (clocks to keep time of different task)?

Yes. I believe it to be a civic privilege and duty. My mother comes from a country where (for her gender and religion) her civil freedoms were severely restricted and I think it is important to engage in the process even if you don't like the options. I believe a void vote is better than no vote at all and I think real engagement to change the system is the best (although a difficult) solution to the "no one represents me" argument.

In addition to the suggestions already given to contact Google / Apple / Microsoft / servers / payment processors etc., here are a couple more tips:

First, many lawyers will be willing to enter into fee arrangements e.g. based on success or with deferred payments. It is worth getting the right lawyer as slightly greater expensive short term may save you a ton more money long term.

Second, preparing a cease and desist letter should not be too timely and therefore costly (particularly if you do the background of getting details of the breaching party and provide clear evidence of the breach etc). It will not require you to take further action if they ignore it (the letter should be sent without prejudice to your rights) but you should consider that if you don't follow-through, they may be emboldened.

Good luck!

A few thoughts of mine on how to excel in the work place... what do you guys think? Anything to add or change?

That's right but doesn't take into account lead time. Finding a good employee, especially early in the life of the company can take months. There is therefore a significant risk element involved in looking and planning ahead.

1) NDA may stop someone from disclosing information.... it may not, but it may. That has a degree of value and the document is generally pretty short and simple to understand so not too problematic.

2) for the same reason many people will not sign an NDA (trust, hassle) you may want them to- trust, commitment.

3) even if an NDA only serves to regulate "the aftermath", that too can have value, especially in the rare but possible cases of mis-use of information e.g. by a competitor...

E.g. issues in founders' agreements? Or information rights for investors? Or terms of contracts you'd never agree to in retrospect....
