I appreciate all the contributions and help Bill and the Hutchlaw team provided me in starting up this dream of a company.

Shawn Leland Founder and Chief Business Officer, Elevation Oncology

I feel very fortunate to have Scott B. working for us. He was willing to work late nights to meet our deadlines and did an excellent job again.

Jose Flores VP of Product, Shipedge

Overall we received excellent service from Hutchison and were very impressed with the level of support, advice and responsiveness that we received.

Claire Gilligan Head of Quality and R&D, Millicent Pharma Limited

Dan O. is great - very knowledgeable and helpful - plus answers after hours!

Allison London Brown CEO, UVision360, Inc.

John was fantastic at breaking down the important sections of the contracts to help determine the most important matters to negotiate. The volume of documents and the length of them would have been overwhelming without him navigating me through them!

Penny Shikowitz CEO, On Track Technologies

Dan F. provided exceptional service. He was very knowledgeable, had excellent command of the process informing us on all the risks and strategies. He was an excellent negotiator and able to win favorable terms for us. I will certainly hire him for any of my future needs.

Rajiv Singh CEO, Sinmat

Josh was phenomenal. Very attentive to his customer and follows up so diligently.

Yacoub Habib CEO, Ophidion, Inc.

I would like to express my appreciation to both Bill and Ashley for their support and insight into these very important transactions. I also appreciate their willingness to provide me their thoughts and recommendations!

John Kaiser CEO, Evecxia, Inc.

Everyone was very responsive and always made themselves available. Fees were very reasonable and couldn't be happier with the work done.

Shawn Leland CBO, 14ner Oncology

Hutchlaw was responsive, expert and fun to work with. Thanks until the next one!

Ray Carey CEO, Astute Solutions

GSS was extremely happy and satisfied with Hutchison ... a special note to Josh ... Extremely professional, responsive, pro-active and competent. It was an immense pleasure working with him and we very much look forward to having the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Rodrigo Muniz Barretto Cotta CFO, GSS

Josh did (and does) an incredible job. We really appreciate his knowledge, attitude and responsiveness.

Mike Midgett CEO, QOREBOARD, Inc.

This firm was exactly what I needed to get the job done. I am very happy with the results!

De'Andra Alex Owner, More Than An Athlete

Fred and John are highly responsive and knowledgeable. We are always impressed with the quick responses and thoughtful advice. We trust their advice and appreciate their partnership approach.

Susan Nichols CEO, Falcon Therapeutics

Personally, I view Justyn, Ashley and Dan O. as trusted members of my team. Their work was always top notch and their (often daily) counsel exceptionally valuable.

Maxime Lemaitre CEO & President, Mattrix Technologies, Inc.

Scott B. and his team worked past business hours the day before Thanksgiving to finalize our closing. The whole process was great and would definitely recommend!

Rob Farmer CEO, ProRata

The dedication and execution of your team throughout this process was unbelievable.

Douglas Crumb President & CEO, Xhale, Inc.

Scott was a critical part of our ability to work through the significant dynamics and personalities and we relied on him extensively. Thank you again, we appreciate the service provided by Scott and your firm. Frequently, it was above and beyond.

Tom Finegan Chairman, FoodLogiQ LLC

Justyn and the Hutch team showed flexibility and expertise, to ensure we could get to the finish line. It was a true partnership.

Sean Fitzgerald CEO, Savii, Inc.

We would have never accomplished what we did without Scott's talent and heroics over the past year. He is an outstanding partner who provides brilliant client service. We are honored and blessed to have him on our team.

Faith Kosobucki CFO, FoodLogiQ LLC

As a startup going through a recapitalization and transition, Jeremy did a great job of explaining the process and executing it. He was a great thought partner throughout the process, and ensured all the boxes got checked.

Sean Fitzgerald CEO, Savii, Inc.

I love Hutchison beyond all reasonable limits of plausibility. Sometimes, I feel like I'm on the receiving end of some sort of sociological experiment to push the boundaries of human-to-law firm affection.

Aleksander Levental CEO, Feathr

The area law firm of choice for startup and biotech companies.

John Didsbury CEO, T3D Therapeutics, Inc.

Scott's performance was differentiated and a breath of fresh air compared to what we've seen from other firms. We feel blessed to have his expertise on our team.

Faith Kosobucki CFO, FoodLogiQ LLC

Hutchison has served our small, SaaS company extremely well. We appreciate their insight, attention to detail and responsiveness. I've already referred them to several other companies because of my confidence in their expertise.

Matt Womble CEO, BeeWell

We are very impressed with Hutchison. The team went above and beyond and drafted a great set of legal documents for our early-stage startup.

Hua Wang CEO, SmartBridge, Inc.

So glad that I hired Scott. He is the best! Went above and beyond.

Danielle Leahy Partner, Saltyard

Scott Bryant, Amalie Tuffin and Brandon Huffman were extremely responsive during some critical times of the transaction, being available numerous evenings and weekends. That was much appreciated and greatly facilitated completing the transaction.

Michael Schley CEO, FM:Systems

Nice job, responsive, helpful, on budget.

Dave Kirkpatrick Managing Director, SJF Ventures

I have always enjoyed working with Justyn and find him to be a thoughtful and intelligent attorney who consistently provides valuable insight and legal advice.

Stephen Mangano Member, GBL Investments

Hutchison consistently delivers the right balance of top notch legal advice and practical experience. Thank you for being such a great partner for myDrugCosts!

Dan Pollard CEO, myDrugCosts

Our deal had more than its share of complications. Dan Fuchs handled them all flawlessly. He was also a master at negotiating between all the parties involved. I have never felt better served or received better advice.

Ray Carey CEO, NeoNova

I am proud of how Hutchison represented our company. The team was responsive and resourceful. They made all the difference in getting the deal done.

Anthony Pompliano CEO, ANEXIO Technology Services

As a company that has grown over the last seven years from a penurious startup barely able to cover its bills into a successful business bringing outside capital into North Carolina, what we have most appreciated about working with Hutchison is its flexibility. That, and how much we like the people.

Stephen Fraser Co-founder, Spoonflower

For a start up company, you could not find a better partner and attorney than Helga Leftwich and the Hutchison Law Firm!

Pamela Bunes CEO, EpiEP, Inc.

Our M&A deal would not have resulted in such a positive outcome without Hutchison. The entire team, headed by Fred Hutchison, was very knowledgeable, pragmatic, patient and dedicated throughout the entire M&A process.

Thuy Dancik Principal, Dancik International

Emily King and Justyn Kasierski did a fantastic job supporting Ziptronix in its recent merger with Tessera, as well as, a variety of other company transactions through the company's history. They are a first class team that I highly recommend!

Richard Gianni CFO, Ziptronix. Inc.
