Review Martin Sances

Martin Knows Corporate Transactions

Posted by

Martin was hired as in-house counsel at Savonix, a growth stage health technology company. Martin reviews, assesses and gives valuable guidance on all corporate transactions, contracts and is instrumental in employment law compliance. I have known Martin for over 30 years both personally and professionally and give my highest recommendations.

Sausalito Taxi-Cab Coalition

I retained Martin to represent a group of taxi operators. Martin was very responsive and creative especially when it came to getting a meeting arrangement and finding a legal strategy to implement that worked well for the situation presented. I feel he made our best interest his priority and recomend him.
