Jenna Godfrey provided exceptional counsel during our company's recent Series C funding round. Her deep knowledge of securities and capital markets law, honed at a top firm like Skadden, was immediately evident. She deftly navigated the regulatory complexities and her recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Jenna was a strategic partner, anticipating issues with our private placement memorandum that saved significant time. While her billing structure is premium, as expected, communication turnaround times could occasionally be quicker during peak periods. Overall, her expertise from Washington D.C. was invaluable for this high-stakes transaction.
