Update Design Service Agreement

Stacy Dees

"This is the second time I have hired Stacy and it was a great experience yet again. I initially hired Stacy over a year ago to create documents and contract for my newly formed business. She delivered the documents on time, within the estimated hours, and the contracts included more than I even thought to ask for. When I needed those same contracts edited for a specific project, hiring Stacy was a no brainer. She is knowledgable and talks through your legal needs to ensure that your intent is fully captured. Stacy is the lawyer I will contact for all my contracts moving forward."

Restructure Corporation

Brent Xavier

"I hired Brent to do a focused review of a founder exit document package for my Delaware C-corp — five documents including an RSPA-based repurchase, director resignation, vested stock repurchase agreement, and separation agreement with mutual release. This was time-sensitive and I needed someone who could move quickly without sacrificing thoroughness. Brent delivered exactly what he promised. He turned around a clear, well-organized review summary that covered the RSPA mechanics, execution sequencing, enforceability, and the consideration issue — all of the areas I specifically flagged. His bottom line was direct and actionable, and his recommended next steps gave me a clear path forward to close the transaction. What stood out most was his responsiveness. He replied quickly, was transparent about scope and pricing, and delivered on time. He also flagged one nuanced point about the escrow materials that I might have missed, which was genuinely valuable. I'd recommend Brent without hesitation for any founder or early-stage startup needing practical, no-nonsense corporate legal support. I'll be working with him again."

"It is exceedingly difficult in the modern era to find attorneys you can trust and who will have your team's back. Running a fast-growing company has seemingly endless parts so you need to have your legal team on point, organized and resourceful. This is what Eric Broad and his team at Bowery bring to the table. Versatile, knowledgeable, and able to handle fast turnarounds on even the most complex document reviews. Eric and Bowery have a deep network to help with everything from financings and tax matters to general legal issues and compliance matters. I will happily work with this team again and recommend them highly to anyone from seed and early stage to growth stage companies like us. I wish I had access to a team like this years ago."
