A seasoned and strategic partner for our company's complex transaction

Our mid-sized technology firm recently faced the daunting task of a significant private equity investment round, which involved complex securities issuance and intricate corporate governance changes. We engaged Robert Kant at Greenberg Traurig based on his long-standing reputation in Phoenix. With over five decades of experience, including his recognition in securities and corporate law, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He guided us through the entire process with a steady hand, drawing on his vast background in transactions involving billions in securities. His ability to foresee regulatory hurdles and structure the deal to protect our long-term interests was invaluable. The fact that he graduated from Villanova Law in 1970 and has practiced through multiple economic cycles gave our board immense confidence. While his expertise is top-tier, the billing structure for a firm of this caliber can be a consideration for smaller companies, and there were occasional delays in receiving draft revisions from junior associates on his team. However, having Mr. Kant's strategic mind at the helm was worth it. He is not just a lawyer; he is a true counselor who understands both the legal intricacies and the business realities of a transaction.
