Consulting Agreement Review

Zvi Raskin

"Zvi was great. HIs very knowledgeable in contract law around consulting and confidentiality agreements. His experience with IP and tech industry is very helpful if you are in those arenas. HIs approach is very personable making him very easy to work with. A little loose with deadlines. Like his flat fee structure with the understanding that he would see the matter through and not constantly adding hours for every revision and rebuttal to a counterparty revision. I will use him again."
