‘Strong team with good associates. ’
'Excellent work all around- executed a fast and efficient IPO in near record time with us even though we brought a lot of complexities to the table. Extremely accommodating during the deal, and have remained on as great partners in post-IPO world. I would highly recommend for any company planning an IPO.'
'Partner Brian Janson is a superstar. He gave amazing pragmatic advice, managed our process effectively, and gave sage advice on substantive decisions. We spoke 100 times a day and he was cool and collected every single time. Our board really believed in him as well. Since our IPO, he has remained a very trusted partner on all aspects of life as a public company. I have recommended him to close friends who are GCs at other companies. He is younger than most partners who are running deals like this and has an amazing future.'
