WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

I'm grateful for Kevin's partnership. His humility, approachability and deep knowledge of the domain makes him an invaluable business partner […] Also, who doesn't want to work with someone who always has a smile on their face!
Amrish Singh, Founder & CEO (Liberate)
Silicon Legal has consistently proven to be a valuable partner in our day to day operations and fundraising endeavors […] I have been particularly impressed by Kevin's leadership and his ability to rally teams together to achieve common goals. His guidance and counsel have been instrumental in ensuring that our transactions are completed smoothly and on time.
Working with Kevin has been a game-changer for us. His guidance and quick turnaround have not only helped us navigate complex deals with ease but have also made the entire process feel seamless. Whether it’s the detailed insights or the extra mile he goes to ensure our best interests are protected, Kevin truly feels like an extension of our team. Grateful to have such a responsive and supportive partner as we continue to grow.
Subhan Jahromi, Founder (Edgevana)
The moment Kevin joined Silicon Legal, I knew I had to switch our corporate counsel to continue working with him […] [I]n the midst of a must-close deal of monstrous complexity, Kevin brought heroic energy to the effort, going above and beyond to get it done. He is wonderful to work with in the ordinary course of business, but what truly sets him apart – and makes me grateful to work with him – is his exceptional determination, capability, and creativity when the stakes are highest.
