Louis Black

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" b...ehind certain recommendations. I highly recommend Lee and know we will use his services in the future.

Lee was our counsel from getting our startup company started to its dissolution. He was kind and understanding of the pain startup founders go through. He was the knowledgeable and steady hand that we needed in ensuring we did all the right things and did it the right way. He handled every issue with... diligence and in a cost effective way. He was always quite responsive and got back quickly on my queries and requests. I will highly recommend him to any one looking for a corporate law counsel.

Lee has been our corporate lawyer for over a decade. His ethics and standards of excellence are unimpeachable. 85 Broads Unlimited LLC was founded as an exclusive network for current and former Goldman Sachs women professionals worldwide. We have worked with Lee on all legal matters pertaining to ...85 Broads, including our foundation. Lee's knowledge of our business allowed us to ask him for advice on virtually every aspect of our business, domestically and internationally. Lee has always been thoughtful and just as importantly, respectful and kind. There have been many times when we've had to call upon his wisdom and knowledge on a fast moving negotiation or partnership opportunity. I would recommend Lee without reservation. He is the best of the best.

Lee has been our corporate counsel on 2 of our companies. He knows a broad area of subjects really well. Unlike larger firms that I have worked with, you get to work with the partner directly in a very cost efficient manner. Lee is a businessman as well as an attorney, and will quickly help you focus... on the important issues. This approach allowed us to get much legal work done for a fraction of the cost at larger firms. He has advised me a numerous issues over the past 8 years ranging from company formation, stocks and option plans, contracts, contract disputes, tax matters and insurance. I have recommended him to several other friends, and recommend him now without reservation.

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.
