Andrew Wang Shawber

Hiring Andy as our corporate counsel has proven to be one of the smartest decisions we made when we founded our company. Summit helped with corporate formation including both WA and DE paperwork. They made the process extremely easy. Andy's advice with particular issues we have encountered, such as c...lient contract negotiations or IP/NDA concerns, has always been direct, insightful, and actionable. Summit has grown with us. As we move into the next phase of our company (yes, I'm being vague, deal with it), Andy and his team continue to prove their value. In short, Andy is worth every penny.

After working with 2 well known law firms, I got tired of unpredictable (and runaway) attorney fees on our early stage Start-up. It became near impossible to predict cash-flow with our legal fees being 25% of your expenses and totally unpredictable. In addition, we are very legal-savvy founder team, ...and I felt none of our attorneys were leveraging us. As a result, we were paying a bunch of money for things we could do ourselves much faster. Andrew fixed all of that for us. Our expenses are now fully predictable and we are only outsourcing things where we really need the help - he is also very good at reminding us when we don't know what we don't know. As a result, we have getting a lot more for our legal buck and the company is more protected than ever. Andrew truly understands the legal needs of a startup and the Founder/CEO pressures. Most important, he is able to adjust his approach to the savviness, risk tolerance, and resources of the founder team. We think of Andy as our 'legal coach', no more legal black-box.

Andy has consistently been responsive to our company's growing needs. From partner engagements through financing rounds he has been a great team member in helping our leadership take a firm and guided approach to critical aspects of the business. He has been overall a very candid & level headed p...erson to work with. We look forward to continuing to grow with him.

Andrew has has worked with me on the incorporation of two businesses and has advised me on all the sophisticated and complex issues that arise when establishing a new company. As an entrepreneur there are many unknowns, but when working with Andrew I can confidently rest in the fact that my company h...as been structured in a way that protects my interests while creating a foundation for growth and investment. Andrew is truly a partner, I highly recommend you work with him.
