Client Reviews
"Scott is a great resourceful for a small business like ours needing highly competent legal counsel. We rely on Scott primarily for contract reviews. He completely understands the difficult dynamic a small business faces when trying to protect itself from larger, better funded companies with seemingly unlimited legal budgets. If you struggle with how to respond to onerous business terms (indemnification, intellectual IP, termination, etc,) Scott can help sort through the mess."
"Best of the best :)"
"Great Lawyer"
"Scott was a tremendous help in quickly creating an employment agreement."
"We needed some contract support for a US based client who sent over new T&C's for our contract they wanted added. Scott was very professional, knowledgeable and had our best interest at heart with his input. Will definitely work with him again when we need legal counsel."
"Quick responses and very clear."
