My goal in starting a new business was to help find and grow highly innovative educational companies. From the start, Matt Brenneman was able to grasp this vision, and help me form the right entities to both grow and protect the business. Matt has also been instrumental in creating shareholder structures, intercompany agreements, multi-state contracts, and overseeing the legal component of several acquisitions. Matt takes the time to understand my business interests and goals so that the legal structures support those goals. This sounds simple enough, but in my experience Matt is one of the rare counsels out there who truly understands business and isn’t afraid to ask his clients “why.” And perhaps most importantly, when you call Matt, you get Matt. Not a paralegal or a junior counsel. This not only saves us on costly billable hours, but we can get to solutions quicker and more effectively. If you are looking for high-quality business counsel without having to step through five rings of fire to talk to the right person, then I strongly urge you to consider working with Matt.

In 2008 my partner and I started Nine Lives Media, Inc., an online media company that developed several successful brand assets. As first time business owners, we reached out to Matt. He helped us through the process of getting started – from incorporating, working with us on our buy-sell agreement, trademarking our brands and avoiding potential competitive conflicts in a very small, but crowded marketplace. Matt not only took the time to understand our business; he was a great sounding board and calming influence in situations that could have otherwise gotten difficult. He’s responsive, smart and kind, and I would recommend him to any business owner looking for legal guidance. We our using Matt again for our latest venture.

As former owner and CEO of The Seva Group, Inc., a technology services company, I was challenged every day with the need to navigate the complexities that this profession offers. Among them were the subtle but important nuances of software intellectual property rights, exclusivity arrangements, contractual obligations and protections in partnering agreements, and the development of the sophisticated employee compensation models and practices that allowed me to attract and retain the very best and brightest that the market has to offer. Throughout all of these challenges, Matt was more of a partner to me and my company than a service provider. He took the time to listen to my needs and was able to embrace quickly not only the technical aspects of my challenges, but also the nuances and opportunities buried within. Most importantly, he approached my challenges as if they were his own – with energy, enthusiasm and with the urgency that my dynamic business demands. I highly recommend his services and continue to leverage his skills and experience as the “corporate assets” that they are.
