Brian L. Ross

I have worked with Brian and his firm Graubard Miller since 1998 when I was chief legal officer at Winstar New Media and Graubard was Winstar's main outside law firm. In over 15 years spanning Winstar and private legal practice, I have worked closely with Brian on numerous commercial agreements and s...ecurities and M&A transactions -- from public stock and debt offerings at Winstar to partnerships, mergers and private placements for common clients. Simply put, Brian is one of the best corporate lawyers I have ever worked with, including my 8 years at Milbank and doing deals with top firms around the city. He's a straight shooter with tremendous dedication and integrity. He's also a great guy, and very fair and reasonable with billing, at times to a fault. In short, he's my go-to outside corporate counsel. It is therefore a real pleasure to give Brian my highest and unqualified recommendation and endorsement.

I have known Brian for over 14 years and recommend him without reservation. He is very knowledgeable about corporate matters especially Mergers and Acquisitions and SEC compliance issues. I operate a Hedge Fund and managed an OTC Company for 13 years and Brian was our legal counsel for all SEC matter...s. He is conscious of legal fees and keeps them to minimum. His greatest strength is he is a deal maker not a deal killer and can take disagreements between parties and find common ground and come to satisfactory conclusions for both sides. I have referred him to other clients and friends of mine and they were very pleased with his advice.

Brian has been a huge help for my start-up business. He has advised us on best practices for hiring/firing, created our operating agreement, and helped us create all of our contracts for new hires as well as general contractors (including NDAs, employee agreements, release forms, etc). He is also al...ways available when needed and gets everything done on time/when I need it. I have already recommended him and would do so again.
