Client Reviews
"Precisely scoped pre-launch review, ruled on every question, targeted edits instead of a rewrite, caught errors in our own drafts, delivered fast. Exactly what a startup needs."
"Dane did an excellent job helping us with our Rule 506(c) Regulation D offering. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made a complicated securities process much easier to understand. He assisted with the key offering documents, including the subscription agreement, accredited investor questionnaire and verification materials, investor representations, offering disclosures and legends, risk factors, corporate approvals, Form D filing requirements, and applicable Blue Sky notice considerations. What stood out most was his attention to detail and ability to make sure all of the documents worked together consistently while keeping the process practical and efficient. I would highly recommend Dane to any company or sponsor needing assistance with a 506(c) offering, Regulation D compliance, private securities offerings, or related corporate work."
"Dane is great to work with, met or exceeded all deadlines. He reviewed our launch documents ahead of schedule and explained every change rather than just redlining it. He was direct about what we could not claim and what we did not actually need, which saved us money as well as risk, and where we needed specific language he supplied it instead of leaving us to work it out."
"Great attorney he was able to restructure the agreement for us in a manner that protects our interests."
"Dane is so incredibly talented, helpful, responsive and kind. He truly helped me through a commercial lease contract and negotiation. Will absolutely be working with him again!"
"Great work, helped me with contracts for a start-up."
