Always compassionate and professional, I would not have had such a positive outcome from a stressful and possibly financially disastrous situation if I hadn’t hired Barbara to negotiate a buy-out/exit from a CPA firm I co-founded. I trust her counsel completely and recommend her to all my clients. She’s wonderfully personable and gets things done with the ease and grace of an accomplished expert.

Barbara has been my company's attorney for about a decade and during that time, her professionalism and incredible depth of knowledge has served us well. She is prompt, thorough and able to convey an understanding of her work that has always left me feeling like I understand the issue being dealt with much better than I would've expected to need to. On a personal note, she's also very conscientious and respectful, which makes dealing with sometimes complex legal issues much less stressful. I highly recommend Barbara.

I contacted with Barbara in regards to complex company situation. She was very knowledgable and clear about the situation and options. She was able to help timely manner and help navigate through the situation very efficiently and promptly. Absolutely use her services again if needed. Thank you

I was very pleased when my wonderful neighbor introduced Ms. Barbara Prowant to me, when I need a good business lawyer, after I got connected and start working with her on my behalf, her excellence of the knowledges of her profession is absolutely amazes me, in addition, her wonderful manners is comfort me greatly. After all, Ms. Prowant is an exceptional attorney!

The time had come for the most important financial transaction of my life; selling the software business I had built over 20 years. I was dealing with a sophisticated team of acquisition specialists at a global software company and I needed a trusted advisor who had the experience, credentials, and mettle to get a deal done. Through the inevitable ups and downs of the acquisition process, Barbara and her team kept the deal moving forward, building respect of the acquiring company through a series of tough negotiations. Based on the number of our late night teleconferences, I knew that Barbara and her team were working tirelessly on my behalf. With a successful deal close behind me, I am pleased to recommend Barbara for her counsel during the acquisition process.

We were looking for a lawyer to help us with putting together the necessary incorporation documents and Barbara Prowant. We we ever glad we hired her. Barbara was very responsive and knowledgable. Barbara was very through and helpful in guiding us through the entire process. After we completed our incorporation, Barbara also put together the necessary documents necessary for us to raise capital from private investors. Again, Barbara was very responsive and knowledgable in all aspects. Barbara has continued to represent us and we could not be more pleased with her council. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for legal representation for their business. I do not think you could find a more hard working, knowledgable, responsive and ethical person to represent you and you business

I have been a client of Barbara's over the last 15 years both when she was at a large international law firm and more recently in her own law practice. Barbara represented the venture backed portfolio company that my firm was investing in along with a syndication of VCs. She was outstanding in her role as corporate finance counsel. She has also represented me individually in specific business deals. I love working with Barbara because of her competence, integrity and consistency in communications. She has a great business head and remains level headed and consistent under the toughest negotiations. She is whip smart, gracious yet firm and instills confidence in her capabilities which in turn generates trust amongst the parties. I will continue to work with Barbara--she's a class act.

I'm a fan of Barbara's. She’s accomplished, capable, caring – and she delivers. When I first worked with her more than 10 years ago, she was the primary quarterback for our initial public offering. Despite the usual strains of the process, we found Barbara to be unflappable, helping us to successfully go public in a year that was pretty tough for IPOs. She’s extremely organized and very knowledgeable, has great attention to detail and an effective way of interacting with both legal professionals and clients. She is also quite patient and particularly skilled at asking clarifying questions in a non-confrontational way. And with Barbara, you get someone who cares about you as an individual, not just your business.

We hired Barbara Prowant as our outside general corporate to provide legal support for everything from contract negotiations and employee matters, to succession planning and corporate restructuring. We found her to be so amazingly organized, responsive and clear it makes the whole relationship unintimidating. She really cares about what we’re working on – she’s a member of our team. She doesn’t look at the projects from just a legal point of view, but also from the perspective of meeting our business objectives. Her people skills are excellent. She is a professional and empathetic consensus builder.

Barbara Prowant has handled real estate transactions, buying, selling, and other real estate issues for our organization since 2002. Barbara has always been very professional in every way. We are very happy to have Barbara on our side when it comes to negotiation of contract terms. We have full confidence in the council that Barbara provides to direct our real estate decisions.

Barbara recently helped me resolve a contract issue quickly and effectively. I appreciate her "desk side manner," i.e., how she very astutely listened to me, got to the heart of the matter and moved to action. Her written and verbal communication skills are excellent. I especially appreciate that she treated the people on both sides of the conflict with respect. I feel lucky to have this very smart woman on my side!

Barbara is one of the best lawyers I’ve ever worked with. She’s helped me with everything from starting and running a business, obtaining angel and venture capital financing, assisting with internal and external contract negotiations, and addressing shareholder matters, to some very confidential work. The trust I’ve developed in Barbara means I’m very comfortable letting her handle front-line negotiation and protection of company assets. She thinks like a businessperson, understands the financial impact of decisions and applies that to her understanding of the law. She’s a lawyer with business skills. Barbara truly cares about the people and companies she’s working with. It’s not just a job.
