Client Reviews
"Scott was very helpful and easy to understand. I would hire him again."
"Mr. Stram has helped us with several legal issues of concern, including the formation of two businesses, the drafting of all the corporate documents for those businesses, and several real estate sales and purchases. Each time, he not only worked toward helping us achieve the results we desired, but we can honestly say he exceeded our expectations. His willingness to work outside of the normal hours that other professionals tend to stick to and his resourcefulness really surprised both myself and my wife. The quality of work was excellent and the attention to minutiae and follow-up was excellent as well. Additionally the transparency of his processes left us feeling very comfortable with both the progress of his work, the situations we were in at the time and certainly the resulting, and very worthwhile legal fees, he deserved for his work."
"Scott Stram subbed in for me as a temporary General Counsel of Xaxis, a GroupM entity, when I went on maternity leave. Xaxis is a global digital advertising company with over 500 employees and 17 offices. During this time, Scott managed all the complex and ongoing legal needs of Xaxis that arose at any time, acting as General Counsel in my absence. During the three months I was out of the office, Scott worked on and negotiated numerous strategic agreements with various Fortune 500 companies, worked with engineers and development teams on privacy and data security matters, helped manage an acquisition of a foreign business, oversaw the legal side of a complete corporate rebranding, assisted the HR department with terminations, handled IP matters and numerous other issues that arose. Scott also advised the executive team on legal risks, business strategies and other issues related to corporate transactions. It was a tremendous relief knowing that with Scott's track record, I could trust Scott to handle my job, and all of its time-sensitive and difficult aspects, in my absence. Regards, Noga Rosenthal General Counsel Network Advertising Initiative, Inc."
