Mark J. Sonnenklar

My sister and I recently sold our company, Bodify. At the beginning of the process, we didn’t know how critical it was to have a savvy, experienced, hard-working, and genuine attorney at our side. We are beyond fortunate that we were introduced to Mark. From the get-go, it was obvious he was well-ver...sed in this type of work and equipped with the skill to navigate the deal successfully. The process of selling a company is grueling, but Mark made it as enjoyable as possible and one we will remember and be grateful for forever. In particular, we were struck by Mark’s authenticity, charisma, integrity, and follow-up. Initially, we had agreed to an LOI with a buyer. For a variety of reasons, we chose to terminate that deal. When we informed Mark, he was kind, patient, informative, and helped us exit the agreement with integrity. Mark then guided us throughout the process of closing the sale of our company to a second buyer. He has never once failed to do what he promised, he has always shown up on time, worked early mornings and late evenings, and delivered documents on a timely basis. He pushed when necessary and backed off when appropriate. There has never been a doubt that he has been in our corner and had our best interests at heart. He is a teacher at heart and deeply cares about his clients and doing what is best for them. He listens and develops a relationship with you so he can understand what is and is not important to you. While Mark is a true professional, we have also grown very fond of him on a personal level. We are so grateful to Mark and his team at Ethos Law Group!

Mark has been our lead counsel since starting our business and has been essential in not just the corporate formation, but also in developing our investor and advisor agreements. Mark has also referred us to legal experts when we needed them and when it would prove more cost-effective. He's knowled...geable, fast, and -- perhaps most importantly -- he understands the challenges of both launching a company and making it successful.

I have known Mark since 2000 when he was part of a team that advised a business I co-founded on the sale of the company. Recently we engaged Mark again to set up and advise us on a new business entity. He and his associate were efficient and professional, and delivered very good value to us. I apprec...iate that Mark and his team can handle the details, while also having experience at larger firms. The result is a unique legal solution for small businesses that fits our budget but gives me comfort that we did not cut any corners or make any sacrifices about the quality of the legal work. I expect to use Mark in the future and would recommend him highly to other businesses seeking a reliable outside counsel.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark while I served as CTO for New.net, an IdeaLab company that pushed the technology and policy envelope. As such, there was a need for legal counsel who could understand the nuances of the technology and the policy surrounding computer privacy and software instal...lations. We were fortunate to have Mark Sonnenklar serve in this role. Mark helped us understand the broader set of issues with our software privacy policies, worked to define and refine our response, and then lead the effort to communicate and negotiate our position within the external privacy community. Moreover, Mark identified opportunities and lead the initiative for the company to join and work with industry groups that helped establish the company's bona fides within the community. Mark was professional and brought clear-thinking and a level head, which was extremely valuable in working within a potentially incendiary area. I have recommend Mark at every opportunity in my subsequent companies.
