Testimonials

“I have worked with Kathryn on venture capital transactions and she was a delight to work with. Excellent communication, proactive in reaching out / updating and able to explain complex topics in a clear and coherent manner.  She excelled at coordinating multiple stakeholders.  I will definitely work with her again.”

Ian Monk (Co-Founder & CEO) of Spotted Zebra

“Kathryn worked closely with us providing M&A legal support for the sale of our technology company to a PLC. At all times we found her to be clear and diligent in her explanations and negotiations of the quite meticulous requirements of our buyers' legal representatives, over several iterations. This also included productive interactions with their management and our M&A business consultant, and resulted in fair and reasonable terms in the final purchase agreement. We would recommend her for any such transactions.”
