Nathan helped my organization out of a tight spot. We had encountered some confusing questions regarding a fellowship program, and Nathan not only helped us to understand our leverage points when constructing the scaffolding of the program, but also wrote a highly detailed memo to our Board of Directors that allowed them to understand it as well. Thanks a lot Nathan!

My nonprofit organization had an unusual set of legal questions for a cutting-edge fellowship program. Our other counsel had been inflexibly leaning on established precedent, without taking the time to understand the unique aspects of our program. Nathan listened to us, took the time to understand our organization and its programs, and then dug deep into the literature to confirm what we suspected from the beginning -- that our program was not only technically legal, but wholly in keeping with the spirit of the law. It was a breath of fresh air to work with Nathan. It was a collaborative relationship all the way through, in the best way possible. He delivered for us big time, and on-time.

Like many people, the most daunting tasks when starting my company were the ones that I referred to as the "legal stuff." I'm fairly certain the first time I talked to Nathan I said something like "I have no idea what I need or what I'm doing." I'm now very excited to be able to say I know exactly what I'm doing and "legal stuff" is now a very specific list of items that I understand inside and out - thanks to Nathan. He explained every fine print item without being condescending or pretentious. I never felt like I asked a stupid question; I truly felt like I gained knowledge about the process and the documents so I could speak to them with my clients. He also was insanely thorough and detailed oriented when creating my Master Services Agreement - thinking of things and scenarios to make sure it covered that make me sleep better at night. If you are looking for a lawyer you can trust (which is an odd thing to say, I know), someone that will explain things to you in a way you can understand and feel like you are getting your money's worth...then you need to hire Nathan Lawrence.
