Always happy to work with David Wittman.
David has helped us with a range of corporate matters from investment agreements to corporate governance and is always responsive, accurate, and produces high quality results. He is able to work well with other firms and attorneys when deals require coordination. His billing practices are also fair and reasonable.

President/Founder
I worked with numerous lawyers before finally finding Dave. I can only imagine how much easier life would have been if I just started with Dave from the beginning. I do not have enough good things to say about Dave, he has always been extremely patient, knowledgable, and helpful in guiding my decisions.

A great partner for tech startups or media licensing
Dave helped my tech startup craft the template TOS and content licensing agreements for our online marketplace (for licensing written content to media outlets). He was very responsive, quickly understood our particular desires and complexities, and was aware of the different needs/priorities for a young startup like us. I'd highly recommend David to entrepreneurs in Boston or elsewhere.
