James Young
As the founder of a growing tech startup in Portland, navigating our first acquisition was a daunting prospect. We interviewed several attorneys, but Darius Hartwell stood out immediately. His broad expertise in general corporate law and M&A was exactly what we needed. Darius didn't just act as our lawyer; he became a strategic partner. He meticulously guided us through every stage of the transaction, from the initial letter of intent through the complex due diligence process and final negotiations. His ability to explain intricate financial and legal terms in plain English was exceptional, ensuring my team and I were fully informed decision-makers. What truly impressed me was his foresight; he anticipated several potential post-closing issues related to employee retention and structured the deal terms to protect our interests proactively. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule, setting our company on a fantastic new trajectory. Darius's blend of deep technical knowledge, pragmatic business sense, and genuine commitment to his clients is rare. I cannot recommend him highly enough to any Oregon business owner facing a complex corporate challenge.
