Louis Black

I have been using Mr. Black month after month after month since the mid-90s on multiple start-ups, board seats, and investments. His work has spanned employment contracts, incorporation, trademark filings, lawsuits, M&A transactions, angel and venture capital investments, investment bank engagements, and licensing agreements, among other areas of corporate and tax law. All the work is top-notch, done efficiently, and completed at a fair price. He's also a terrific board member, serving as a corporate secretary as well as an independent who carefully balances business operations with the minimum legal work required to achieve business goals, a rarity among lawyers who love to over-think the legal issues.

I have been using Lee as my primary lawyer for both personal and professional matter for over 25 years. Extremely well rounded and pragmatic. Lee is a deal maker, not a deal breaker!

I have worked with Lee Black for 4+ years, where he served as General Counsel on my software startup. Lee is a trusted lawyer who genuinely has your best interests in mind. Lee is very experienced and has served many different types of businesses and situations. He is a first principles thinker, and is able to come up with the core issues to resolve in any situation. He has great client service - he is very responsive and works extremely hard for you. He is detail-oriented, which helps identify and resolve most potential scenarios. He is also a great human being - he has supported me as a mentor personally. I highly recommend working with Lee.

My husband and I engaged Lee to assist us with an investment transaction. He brought a level of expertise and knowledge to us that far exceeded my expectations and helped us navigate the complex legal and tax considerations in question. He also spent time educating us on our options and the "why" behind certain recommendations. I highly recommend Lee and know we will use his services in the future.

I have worked with Mr Black for fifteen years. His ability to get to the heart of a situation is stellar. He has used his vast expertise to advise me in a particularly challenging effort to unravel usual elements of a long term lawsuit. If another category of legal knowledge is needed Mr Black will find the appropriate attorney to consult while continuing to manage the situation. This has saved me a great deal of time and money. Mr Black really listens to his clients needs and opinions and responds appropriately and throughly. It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Black in the highest of terms.

I asked a question regarding taxes regarding a complication from the past and what to do in the present. Mr. Black gave me an informative article and he gave me his opinion. He took the time to answer me whereas other attorneys on this site did not.

I contacted Lee to get assistance with my situation. After speaking with Lee, it became apparent that I needed a different type of attorney, but he still listened carefully as I described my challenges. He provided me with information and direction to help resolve my issues most effectively. I greatly appreciate his consideration. This is an attorney who actually cares about people. Thank you!

Mr.Black responded promptly to my request, and even though he stated that he wouldn't handle my case, he offered to advise me over the phone and showed interest and concern.

Louis was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and knowledgable. Highly recommend.

Lee is a top notch attorney that was able to resolve a long list of issues that my company inherited from my previous corporate attorneys. He is extremely sharp and knowledgeable in all aspects of corporate and taxation law. We had several complex incorporation issues, and Lee was able to come up with sound solutions to each and every problem. We also utilized his knowledge to perform diligence on contracts that were drafted by our real estate attorneys, and his comments were tremendously valuable. In conclusion, Lee’s services are worth every penny. We look forward to continue leveraging his knowledge in our future business endeavors.
