"Dane was thoughtful, thorough, and highly organized throughout this engagement. They took the time to understand our company's formulation, IP, technology-transfer, and CMO needs and translated those into a practical set of documents we can actually use as the company moves forward.

The final deliverable was well structured and included both clean and annotated versions, which made it much easier to understand the reasoning behind the revisions. I look forward to working with Dane in the future."
