Amyli is an invaluable business adviser and one of the most competent lawyers I know. Serving as our internal general counsel, we were able to close multiple company acquisitions and restructure millions of dollars in financing in a streamlined manner. Her unique combination of expert legal and business planning expertise has not only saved us on attorney fees but given us a level of legal peace of mind that we could not have gotten by just hiring outside lawyers.–Richard Estevez, CEO Trusted Translations

Amyli helped me form my LLC and launch my business. Her advice has been invaluable especially when it comes to entering into joint ventures and protecting our intellectual property rights. Given her integrity and expertise as both a legal and business expert, she now handles many of our business transactions from beginning to end. –Christine Leese, President CCL Ventures

Over the past decade, Amyli has been a trusted ally and partner in helping me build, grow, and sell three companies. She truly understands the start-up environment and brings not just outstanding legal skills but also sound business judgment to provide pragmatic legal solutions. When you combine this, with her outsourced general counsel approach, a compelling and cost efficient structure is created that is not generally available to start ups. I and my management team gain a trusted and responsive legal adviser who can efficiently provide the best legal guidance day in and day out. –Neelan Choksi, Serial Entrepreneur
