fighting the big guy

Mr Benaur represented us in negotiations with a company substantially larger than our company. He presented us and our position as from a position of strength and thus achieved for our company a resolution quite satisfactory to us.

Great experience with George Benaur!

George recently helped us with an international distribution agreement, and I was very impressed with his knowledge, attention, initiative and speed dealing with everything that came up from the other side. Over here in Japan now and the initial product feedback is looking great! Will definitely be u...sing George for future projects!

Successful and Trustworthy

I have contacted Mr. Benaur for help in resolving contractual dispute over the sale of my business. Mr. Benaur approached my case with meticulous attention to details and organization. He was sincere and levelheaded throughout the process. He allowed me to relax and trust his knowledge and expertise.... Mr. Benaur always kept me informed, followed up after every action and was able to get a successful outcome. I would highly recommend him to friends and colleagues.
