Client Reviews
"We used Ed to help draft employment and severance agreements for our top 5 executives. He helped lay out current market practices in our industry, filled us in on corporate best practices in regards to both employment agreements and severance agreements, and helped lay out the process to get these agreement communicated to our executives and their counsel. He helped develop the term sheet format we used during the initial negotiations which, in turn, was used to develop the agreements. All of our executives signed off on their agreements and we ended up with better agreements than we had before. Working with Ed was a pleasure as he was quite responsive to communications and turned new drafts quite quickly, and did so in a very competent manner."
"Ed helped walk us through setting up our business in a manner that was professional and engaging. He described all the possible ways we could structure the business, the potential pros and cons of each alternative, discussed our goals and concerns and suggested the business entity choices that best fit our needs. Overall was a terrific process and we enjoyed working with Ed. He was a consummate professional and very responsive to our questions and requests."
