WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Bill has the ability to handle very complicated timelines and actions while always keeping us updated."
"His skills are impeccable."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"My client philosophy is to understand both my client’s and their counterpart’s businesses and motivations for doing a transaction and both the risks that they are willing to take and the risks that they want to protect against. That takes being willing to say “help me understand” and listening to the answer. In my experience that makes it possible to craft “win / win” solutions and helps provide the foundation for a good relationship between the parties going forward."
