Expert guidance through our company's acquisition process

Madison Schmid provided exceptional counsel during the recent acquisition of our tech startup. Her deep understanding of corporate law, particularly in the venture capital space, was immediately apparent. She didn't just handle the paperwork; she anticipated complex issues related to our cap table and employee stock options that other attorneys might have missed. Her background at Chicago-Kent and her focus on guiding businesses from formation through exit meant she was perfectly suited for this critical transaction. Madison was always prepared, explained every step in clear terms, and negotiated fiercely on our behalf. The deal closed smoothly and on favorable terms, a direct result of her diligence and strategic insight. Her recognition in corporate and venture capital law is clearly well-deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any founder or executive navigating a significant corporate event.
