Contract reviews and due dilligence
I have utilized Ms. McLaughlin for contract reviews several times and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable as well as catching important terms and conditions that would potentially pose as a serious liability for my organization. Her responses have all come back in an very timely manner a...
"Amanda is a great attorney. I recommend her firm, GoodmanMooney to many friends and colleagues. I used to work for her back in law school and learned a ton from her. Do yourself a favor and hire her."
"I have had the good fortune of knowing Amanda for several years. I have represented several clients who have worked with her on intellectual property matters. Without exception, each client was impressed with the work that she and her colleagues performed. Amanda is an outstanding intellectual property attorney and a very nice person - a terrific combination for clients."
"Amanda is a valued partner of mine for many reasons. The most important being that she is extremely knowledgeable in many practice areas including primarily Intellectual Property and Brand Protection, her mindful attention to detail, and her genuine concern that each and every client receive the best representation no matter the issue. Her vast expertise in the areas of Intellectual Property and contract matters is a great resource to our clients who time and time again are more than pleased with the results she provides."
"It is uncomfortable to be forced to endorse an attorney in only one of the many areas of practice Mrs. McLaughlin shines at; but this website only allows it so. Her knowledge and experience in intellectual property matters is only exceeded by her passion for them. None are under-seved, but to the contrary. I refer any client's intellectual property issues to Mrs McLaughling."
"I had the pleasure to work closely with Amanda on multiple matters during her time at Sprint as in-house counsel. Amanda has a rare blend of superb analytical and inter-personal skills that don't often go hand-in-hand with attorneys of her caliber. The reputation of the legal profession would be greatly improved if all attorneys strived to be at the level of professionalism and character Amanda exhibits. Based on this, I endorse Amanda."
"I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer's work. In addition to being a brilliant attorney, Amanda is an all-around great person. She takes exceptional pride and ownership in her work. Amanda is someone that you definitely want on your side."
