Gayani helped me with a particularly thorny consultant agreement negotiation. She was meticulous in her analysis, creative in her suggested solutions, and educated me enough to handle some last minute issues on my own. She is very personable and easy to work with, but she backs that up with experienced, pointed legal advice. I was very pleased with the time and effort she devoted to my situation; the speed and quality of her work put me in the driver's seat for my negotiations with a much larger firm.

I was so relieved when I talked to Gayani for the first time. I was coming from a big lawfirm that only saw me for billable hours and didn't really care about the actual needs of my business. When I talked to Gayani, it felt like she was as invested in my business as I was and anticipated every single one of my questions. From working with her, I can vouch that she is quite well versed not only in law as a general counsel but and in the Trademark and IP specialty, but also the needs of small businesses and small business owners. I highly recommend her, and I'm so glad I found her.

Based upon that experience, I can safely say that Gayani is the kind of lawyer that I truly enjoy working with. She is super smart but does not make those around her feel super dumb. She is fun to work with and brings brightness and a sense of humor to her work. I have truly enjoyed all of my experiences with Gayani and look forward to working with her for years to come.
