  • 'I have been extremely impressed with the entire Cooley team. Unlike most other firms, the attorneys we work with are full life cycle, meaning they are experts in both private company and public company transactions. So, it is the same team who can represent us in any transaction, and who can seemlessly integrate other partners into workstreams without us losing a primary point of contact.'
