"It is exceedingly difficult in the modern era to find attorneys you can trust and who will have your team's back. Running a fast-growing company has seemingly endless parts so you need to have your legal team on point, organized and resourceful. This is what Eric Broad and his team at Bowery bring to the table. Versatile, knowledgeable, and able to handle fast turnarounds on even the most complex document reviews. Eric and Bowery have a deep network to help with everything from financings and tax matters to general legal issues and compliance matters. I will happily work with this team again and recommend them highly to anyone from seed and early stage to growth stage companies like us. I wish I had access to a team like this years ago."
