Client Reviews
"Working with Katie has been a pleasure and I will continue to use her services."
"Katie was extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the process. She helped us complete a time-sensitive legal opinion requirement for our Delaware company so we could successfully open our RBC cross-border banking relationship in Canada. Communication was clear and efficient, and the entire process was handled smoothly. Highly recommended for founders dealing with U.S. corporate matters and cross-border banking needs."
"Thoroughness and thoughtfulness in replies is why I chose Katie. She won my business as a result of putting some thought/effort into the original project request. She has some expertise in my areas of concern which is a huge benefit as well."
"Brent, Katie's partner, was wonderful to work with. Clear communication, responsive, knowledgeable."
"Great experience with Pact Legal. Very clear expectation setting, prompt responses, and highly professional. Definitely recommend!"
