I have had the pleasure of knowing Shahed personally for over a decade but did not have the opportunity to seek his legal expertise until now. My sibling and I are co-founding a startup together and we consider ourselves fortunate to have Shahed in our corner as our outside general counsel. From shar...ing deep knowledge regarding intellectual property matters, to incorporating our legal entities and filing trademarks with the USPTO, and now drafting crucial pre-launch documents - we have felt that our focus on development was never compromised due to Shahed's legal prowess and understanding of the startup space. There are an endless amount of moving parts when bootstrapping a startup, and having a strong attorney by your side is of fundamental importance. You can count on Shahed to lift the associated legal burden off your shoulders.

We hired Shahed to help us incorporate a new public benefit corporation in Delaware (a "B Corp"). We choose Shahed after contacting a dozen attorneys who had experience with this type of law. His fast, clear, and very human communication—as well as his entrepreneurial background—won us over. We ...knew that his unique experience would help him give us legal council that understood our concerns as business owners. The process was needlessly complex (but that's on Delaware not Shahed) and we appreciated his willingness to walk us through the multitude of steps and requirements. The important caveat to know is that he's very focused on startups and if you're working in a non-tech, non-YC arena then your milage may vary. In sum: Shahed is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we'll continue to work with him again in the future as our outside general council.

As a small tech startup, we had a number of legal needs, ranging from data privacy to reviewing employment contracts. Shahed has been a HUGE asset to us, giving candid advice, providing transparency, and helping us make cost efficient decisions. In a matter of weeks, Shahed has transformed our agreem...ents to ensure we are protected; additionally, he has provided us with invaluable guidance on our business and product development to make sure we are operating both legally and ethically. Could not recommend him more!

Shahed is the best!! He helped us navigate tricky legal issues for our startup and was able to help us problem-solve-- both in terms of the legal approaches we took, and how it fits into our business context. When we needed a fast turnaround, Shahed followed up with us multiple times a day and we wer...e able to reach our goals within just a few days. Incredible! Deep expertise in all things tech startup + healthcare!
