Risk Manager, Advocate, Trusted

Stephanie acted for us as in-house counsel. We were a subsidiary of a larger corporation. The business was quite complex due to both the regulatory and competitive environment it operated in. Consequently, it required Stephanie to provide creative and nimble thinking to management for the bus...iness to be successful. Stephanie was acutely aware of the need to provide unbiased and reasoned advice to highlight risk while balancing the need to accept risk to grow the business. Stephanie was a tremendous advocate for our business within the context of a larger corporation. We always felt that Stephanie could be depended upon to help and she was always clear about her desire to help as much, and whenever, possible. Our management team greatly appreciated Stephanie’s contribution.

First-Rate Transactional Attorney

I have had the benefit of Stephanie's expertise on several matters, and she is a first-rate transactional attorney. She is extremely careful and detail-oriented. She analyzes and understands all angles of transactions to ensure that all issues are spotted and dealt with. She has years of expertise an...d is also very intelligent. On top of all that, her years of experience as an in-house attorney also allow her to bring a practical viewpoint to her advice and counsel, which is important to understanding not just the theoretical risks but also the practical risks of a matter.

Excellent corporate governance attorney

I have worked with Ms. Kolb for several years on a variety of projects for my organization. In her tenure as legal counsel for us, she spearheaded several large-scale legal assignments, including a complex corporate reorganization project. I would highly recommend Ms. Kolb for any commercial or c...orporate legal work. She has a high sense of urgency, near immediate response time, stellar attention to detail, and provides sound legal advice. Ms. Kolb is extremely professional and ethical. She strives to provide her clients with the best legal guidance, using sound business judgment in which she helps us weigh risks versus objective, and it is proven in her work product.
