Holly Hammer's Review

I had just moved to Raleigh from California when I met Holly at a party. She had lived in California too so we started talking about our life there. I had just sold my business in Southern California. (I wish I knew her while I was negotiating the terms of the sales contract). In addition to not r...eceiving payments, I was concerned about a non-compete clause that I had signed with the sale of my business. I was an expert in my field and well-known from my business so I was hesitate about continuing my life-long profession. Holly devised a step-by-step plan of action. She was very knowledgeable about business, contracts, and employment law both in NC and CA. Her creative strategy, attention to detail, experience, and assertiveness put me on the right path. She recommended a California firm that she had worked with to continue my case. I have been equally impressed with them. Holly continues to provide reassurance and support whenever I need it. My life is less stressful because of Holly Hammer. I highly recommend her!

Great Life Sciences Knowledge!

I was referred to Holly by a friend who had used her and had nothing but good things to say about her. Subsequently, both my husband and I worked with Holly to review our contracts for new jobs in the Life Sciences Industry. Holly was clearly knowledgeable and able to guide us as well with contract... negotiations in terms of protecting ourselves and identifying what was a 'nice to have' vs a 'need to have' in the contracts. She thoroughly reviewed the contracts in a timely manner, and spent the time with us to walk us through the contracts as well as suggested changes in lay person terms. I have enjoyed getting to know Holly through the process and highly recommend her.

Our Business Partner

I have been working with Holly for almost 4 years and feel very fortunate to have her on our side. She is super knowledgeable and always available and reachable. While I often think we have the craziest situations in town, Holly is never flustered and is willing and able to give me the verbiage and n...arrative I need to handle any situation at hand. Sometimes our issues seem so complicated and difficult to navigate. Holly not only helps me to de-escalate sticky situations but also provides the perspective that gives me clarity on what matters. I often wonder why I am able to see what she can see! I consider Holly to be a partner to me and I turn to her for any issues, big or small. She always steers me in the right direction and is able to help bring balance and objectivity to my perspective. She is also really fun to talk to and knows a good crock of guacamole when she sees one! I absolutely love working with her.

Great presentation skills

Holly presented for us at our Employment Law conference in Greensboro. The audience found her to be engaging, informative and practical. She took a complex topic and distilled it into manageable bites of information. Very well done.
