James Oliver provided invaluable counsel during our recent acquisition of a local franchise. His broad background, specifically his experience with M&A and franchise law, was immediately apparent. He navigated the complexities of due diligence and financing with a steady hand, ensuring we understood every step. While his billing was transparent, initial response times could occasionally be a day or two. Overall, his deep, practical knowledge across multiple business law disciplines made him an exceptional asset for our small company in Indianapolis.
