We’re especially well received by the Start-up community which has long complained of the severe dearth of lawyers with competence in matters of technology, media and internet. We pride ourselves in our consistent ability to deliver an excellent legal product — efficiently and at a fair price. We’ve never lost a client to a competitor, which speaks volumes about the service we provide and the mutual loyalty we engender.
