Ann F Gillooly

Ann managed a few legal circumstances for me, and I hired her for two reasons: (1) Her expertise across multiple areas of law (business, contract, litigation, real estate transaction); and (2) Because she was such a 'fluid thinker' who logically organized and executed legal strategies that helped me ...tremendously. I used her for business law (especially negotiating operating agreements and a complex business structure), real property (lease contracts), and product protection (trademarks, copyrights, etc.).

Ann has been my business lawyer for over 14 years and has represented my tech company in civil as well as regulatory litigation with great success. She serves as our outside general counsel and is accessible, efficient and keeps our budget and business goals in mind at all times. Regardless of the su...bject matter, she has keen insight and knowledge of the applicable law. Her strategy advice is always spot on and she has negotiated and drafted many types of contracts for us related to sales and license agreements, non-competes, NDA's, as well as our original business formation agreements. Whether we need a quick answer to an operational issue with legal consequences or an extended negotiator to resolve a dispute with a competitor or subcontractor, she consistently shows that she knows her stuff and really cares about our business.

We have a few restaurants. Ms. Gillooly initially set up our corporate documents and over the years has helped us make any necessary changes. She has resolved contractor disputes in our favor and has also advised us regarding employer/employee matters. Ms. Gillooly is highly intelligent and has a ...broad base of knowledge and understanding of small business practices. She has always been prompt and thorough with her responses to our queries. We have appreciated her honesty and forthright approach - and have always felt she has our best interests in mind. She makes it easy and pleasant to communicate - she IS the best lawyer with whom we have ever worked. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Ann did a fabulous job in the case in which I was involved. She was representing a contract dispute that crossed state boundaries and had done all of her homework. She had all of the relevant information at hand and her understanding of the particular laws and the process was precise. She was on top ...of the situation during examination and cross-examination and ensured that any attempts to sideline or obfuscate the issue were prevented with the knowledgeable and timely execution of her skill. Her primary concern is the representation of her client and she ensures that they understand their situation with regards to the law and sets realistic expectations within those parameters. I would recommend her to any and all of my business associates.
