"Thanks to this experience and his own great judgment, Ian has a strategic intelligence and vision that enable him to find the best way through our most complicated deals. We have the comfort of knowing that he has been there and done that. Ian handles easily transactions of a complexity that we were previously obliged to delegate to larger and more expensive law firms."
