• “Our company helps business accept bank payments quickly and securely. We needed counsel who could serve as almost a fractional GC to support us on a broad range of fintech-specific issues and general commercial matters. If you're a fintech that needs broad support from product design (from a legal / regulatory perspective) to general commercial matters, I strongly recommend working with Andrew. Unlike other law firms that only respond when there's an immediate billing opportunity, he actually takes the time to learn your business upfront, so he can provide detailed, quality advice when you need it. When there are specific deliverables, he's incredibly responsive and works quickly, while producing a quality product. Beyond the uniquely strong working relationship, Andrew is deeply engaged with the latest happenings and regulatory shifts in the fintech world, which makes him a great partner to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape. At Clerq, we've come to truly view Andrew as a part of our team.”
