"Worked with Brent on a legal review for my business and would absolutely engage him again. Two things really stood out: speed — he turned around a comprehensive deliverable on a tight timeline — and framing — the entire analysis was built around enabling the business, not just flagging risk. He's sharp, knowledgeable, refreshingly practical, and treats founders as partners. Highly recommend to any founder looking for outside counsel who actually thinks like an operator."
