I engaged John Jewell to assist my company in negotiating a major software licensing and implementation contract with a national vendor. With over four decades of experience, his depth of knowledge in information technology law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the complex terms related to data security, service level agreements, and intellectual property rights, protecting our interests in ways our internal team hadn't considered. His background in commercial transactions, including banking, provided a valuable, holistic perspective on the financial and operational risks. It's clear why he's recognized in this specific field. The process was thorough and his counsel was invaluable, leading to a far stronger final agreement. The only slight drawback was that during peak periods, response times on non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a full business day. That minor point aside, I have tremendous confidence in his work and would not hesitate to recommend him for any matter involving technology contracts or complex commercial deals.
