Invaluable Guidance for Our Startup's Series A and Acquisition

As a Seattle-based tech startup, navigating our Series A funding and subsequent acquisition talks was daunting. Partnering with Elaine Kwak at Perkins Coie was the best decision we made. Despite her relatively recent graduation, her deep, practical knowledge in venture capital and M&A law was immediately apparent. She expertly guided us through complex term sheets and due diligence, clearly explaining every nuance for our non-legal team. Her recognition in Venture Capital and M&A Law is well-deserved. Elaine was not only incredibly responsive and professional but also genuinely invested in our success, ensuring a favorable outcome that protected our founding team's interests. Her work on our operating agreement was also flawless. We will absolutely work with her again for future corporate needs.
