FANTASTIC to Work With!!

Lori was great to work with as an outside Legal Counsel on a couple of important licensing deals for me and was always well prepared; professional; had great expertise and negotiation skills; and most importantly- weas always there when I needed her! I'd be happy to work again with Lori anytime!

Legal Counsel's review

Lori helped me with corporate contracts, Test & Evaluation agreements, Mutual NDAs, and any number of other key documents requiring legal review/opinion. Lori's knowledge is excellent, I love her "can do" attitude, and she made every effort to meet some of my crazy deadlines. Highly recommended!

Experience working with Lori Krauss as an external counsel for Technology contracts

Lori is awesome! She has solid IT knowledge, and she effectively balances business requirements with contractual risk mitigation. Lori is extremely responsive, especially for a part-time attorney. My sourcing team and I worked with Lori on many dozens of contracts - from the mundane to the extreme...ly complex - and we were consistently impressed with Lori's ability to identify the key considerations and negotiate appropriate protections for our company.

Client Review

A few years ago I worked with Lori in a corporate law setting. As a corporate client I had many contractual relationships with supplier partners both in development and in 'monitor' mode. She was able to promptly act on all the items almost similtaneously. Lori created our boilerplate intellectual ...property agreements and then participated actively in negotiating favorable terms. I enjoyed working together and would certainly hire her if needed. She can be tough when appropriate, but always is professional.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Lori is an excellent attorney. I worked with Lori for many years at 3Com Corporation, both as a colleague and also as a member of a team that I supervised. Lori is very dedicated and practical. She looks for ways to close a transaction and is an effective negotiator and drafter. She is also able to juggle a variety of matters at the same time while still giving each matter the attention and focus it requires. Lori has worked on a wide variety of transactions, both incoming and outgoing, including software licenses, distribution agreements, semiconductor agreements, development agreements and the like."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
