Sales Director

Clay is fantastic to work with. He is extremly knowledgable and super responsive. This in light of the fact that we throw contracts at him on a daily basis and are doing deals with some of the largest companies in the world. If you are looking for a lawyer you have found the right guy!

Incredible depth of experience and work ethic

Clay is simply one of the best early-stage company lawyers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is exceptionally experienced, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. He is always incredibly responsive and knowledge about almost any situation. He has also scaled well as we have grown f...rom a few employees to over 100.

Clay is great

Clay is an excellent employer and contractual attorney. He can find the key issues quickly and clearly communicate recommendations for a course of action. He always has our Company's best interest in mind. Fast to turn around documents.

Responsive and flexible

Clay is incredibly responsive and quickly turns around any documents we send his way. I work for a startup so we're often getting creative with our contracts. Clay always advises of the risks/rewards, but is flexible in drafting agreements that meet the needs of the business and our clients. I couldn...'t recommend his work more.
