"I am thrilled to recommend Brian as a lawyer for any fintech startup. As an early stage company building money movement/banking products for homeowners, we needed a fintech generalist to help us navigate bank partner negotiations/agreements and fintech regulatory requirements. Brian seamlessly integrated into our team, grasping full context of our business, our legal needs, and our trade-off preferences quickly. Working with Brian was a breeze since we were able to easily collaborate over email, Google Docs, and phone/Zoom. Super sharp, great sense of humor (sometimes you need it!), clear communication skills, easy to reach. I would work with Brian again in a heartbeat!"
