I initially contacted Panakos Law Center after reading the reviews on Yelp and services offered on its website. I approached Aaron Sadock about a potential investment opportunity. Aaron was the first attorney I spoke to about an investment in an expanding local business. After speaking with Aaron, I had consulted with two other attorney's and I wasn't nearly as impressed with them as I was with Aaron. The choice to go with Aaron was an easy one. As an outside investor in a local business, which needed some restructuring, I understood that it would require some intense negotiations with the founders. Aaron's mediation, communication and legal skills were just what was needed to close this deal and protect my investment. The deal was complex due to the type of investment vehicles used and the way in which the organizations were structured. Aaron and his team have good prior private equity experience and an excellent financial and legal understanding of the different types of investment vehicle options used to make the investment.
Aaron's experience and expertise provided me with legal protection I hadn't contemplated and also allowed him to work efficiently and quickly thus keeping legal fees from becoming unreasonable which is common among larger law firms that have an inexperienced associate work on similar transactions. Aaron's practice is set up to meet and exceed the expectations of small business investment/ownership. The deal went off track quickly several times for things that were essentially non-material to the deal and Aaron was able to understand what was required to bring the parties together. Beyond the experience and after returning my retainer, Aaron went well beyond what an attorney would normally do and provided invaluable business and legal advice to the company.
