Client Reviews
"Sanjiv and his team are excellent at providing cost-effective legal services. My services have been both strategic and task-related, and for each, the job is done correctly the first time, in a cost-sensitive manner, by attorneys and legal professionals who have direct experience with the subject matter."
"Sanjiv and his team were pleasant to work with on our asset/company sale. They had the relevant experience and provided a systematic approach and checklist, which was helpful to use as we navigated the process."
"I highly recommend Sanjiv. He is very responsive, professional and knowledgable. He has years of experience working with many founders and developing solutions in a timely manner."
"Sanjiv and his team were highly professional and experienced and very thorough (sometimes a bit too thorough in moving forward with documents we did not ask for, but we got that sorted out). I suppose more thorough is better."
"The best - you can't go wrong with them. Above and beyond, and gets it done right and fast. Honestly. Nothing more to say."
"Great job"
