Discerning, generous and efficient
Shawn N. Sullivan negotiated a non-disclosure agreement for us - a tiny start up - with a very large company. We got everything we wanted and the agreement is well balanced. Shawn listens very carefully to the needs of his client and then design the best solution.

Excellent!
What best about Shawn is he does not take my words on the surface. Before he put down his pen, he had research the topic thoroughly and was able to give such execellent advice that prepare me for the situation. I would recommend Shawn to anyone.
