We engaged William Bernat at Nutter to assist with our initial seed funding round. His knowledge of venture capital structures, particularly within the food and beverage sector, was evident and his recognition in that field is well-deserved. The documents were thorough and he was able to navigate several investor requests effectively. However, our experience was mixed on the service front. Response times were sometimes slower than expected, and we occasionally had to follow up for updates, which created minor delays during a time-sensitive process. While the legal work was solid, the overall communication and project management felt just adequate. He is clearly a knowledgeable attorney, but the client experience could be more streamlined.
