Knowledgeable & Responsive Attorney

I have worked with Kyle on & off for several years. He has a wonderful relationship with his clients. He is a trusted adviser to each of them (all of which are doing amazing things) and is unfailingly responsive to their needs. For corporate law/venture capital matters, especially for organization...s with a social enterprise facet, there is no one better than Kyle Westaway.

Posted by Philip | December 08, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Knowledgeable & Helpful

We hired Kyle to help re structure a partnership agreement for an llc. There were several nuances to our situation that required some creative problem solving and Kyle helped us navigate them and settle on terms that worked really well for us. Would absolutely use him again in the future.

Posted by Sara Beth | December 08, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Knowledgeable, Responsive, Kind

I hired Kyle to write a contract for a freelance job I was doing. Not only did he respond immediately, but the contract included what I’d asked for as well as additional clauses that I wasn’t aware I’d needed. He was so pleasurable to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless, straightf...orward and productive interaction. Highly recommend!!

Co-founder, timeshel inc.

We had to transition from an LLC to a C-Corp due to a stipulation from our lead investor. We had heard great things about Kyle so hired him to guide us in this process. Kyle went above and beyond, helping us both strategically and tactically as well as providing the necessary tax guidance. He drafted... all the stockholder agreements, by-laws, share certificates, etc. Working quickly and efficiently Kyle did this in a timely manner that exceeded our own expectations. He did not lead us down any unnecessary rabbit holes simply to collect additional fees. Kyle’s integrity, responsiveness, and general care for us as his client was top notch. I highly recommend Kyle for any services you may need, especially as it relates to business formation, ownership distribution, and shareholder agreements.

Awesome and caring attorney

I had the ability to work with Kyle on a Trademark case; his responsiveness to questions and his amazing ability to properly manage client expectations is something to be admired. Will always recommend him and am willing to work with him again and again.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
