Supporting Our Clients Through the Business Life Cycle

Since our formation, KO Law has been a long-term partner and trusted advisor for Brandfolder on strategic corporate and complex commercial legal matters. KO's business-focused approach and expertise were instrumental to our success over the last eight years and to the closing of our acquisition.

KO serves as our outsourced legal team. KO is deeply engrained in our day-to-day operations, effectively operating as our in-house counsel on commercial contracts. Their strategic approach helps us stay ahead of the unique issues that are often associated with serving a highly regulated industry.

For the last five years, Matt McKinney, Erin Locker, and the KO Law team have served as an extension of our in-house legal team by handling many of our strategic vendor technology and commercial contracts and data security and privacy needs in a practical, efficient manner. They bring significant legal experience and smart business solutions to drafting and negotiating various types of contracts and agreements, and they are responsive, results-focused, and easy to work with.

The team at KO Law provided top-tier legal representation and significant venture capital and industry expertise which were both very valuable to successfully closing this financing. KO streamlined the financing process and helped us close this significant growth investment from Serent.

We rave about our legal team more than any business I know. We appreciate Jennifer and Sam’s smart legal counsel and industry expertise, and we lean on them for all of our corporate work and everyday general counsel services. They have been amazing to work with and crucial to the growth of our company through our formation, financings and continued growth. KO Law will always be our legal counsel.

I've worked with Matt McKinney and KO since 2014. They've handled everything from corporate, commercial, and data privacy work over the years, as we've grown from startup to enterprise. I feel that they've been as close to perfect in protecting our business as I could hope for. Matt is responsive, efficient, and pragmatic, and I'd happily recommend him and the KO team.

The legal expertise and practical advice provided by the KO team was invaluable in our achievement of a successful transaction. Over the past five years, we have enjoyed working with KO on financings, acquisitions and general corporate matters, and we consider them an extension of our Blue Bottle team.

KO Law was invaluable to successfully closing Cloudbreak’s licensing agreement with Santen. Brad provided top-tier legal experience and significant industry expertise that was critical to heavily negotiating and successfully closing this complex, cross-border transaction that will help bring our disease-modifying therapy to market swiftly.

KO provides a unique combination of smart legal counsel as well as significant software and SaaS industry expertise. With the efficiency and personalized service of a boutique firm, they have been a valuable partner to Stage and our portfolio companies.

In selling our company we believe we received superior advice, obtained more value, and enjoyed working with John Gaddis and his team at KO Law, more than any other lawyer or firm we have worked with or across from, or ever run into, in our 36-year history. KO provided smart, practical business advice and legal expertise to help us successfully close this acquisition. We’re immensely grateful for their support and partnership in helping us with this significant step for EMI.

I’m grateful to KO Law for their guidance and effort over many months. KO partner Jennifer Rosenthal and her team helped our company achieve a significant transaction that will change the trajectory of our business going forward. They were responsive, detail-oriented, and most importantly, strong and practical advocates for us.

KO Law Firm has been a long-time, trusted advisor and guided us through successful exits in our prior roles. When we decided to do this thing and give back to other entrepreneurs, we asked the team at KO to help with our formation, business model, and investment structure.

KO has a team of knowledgeable attorneys that are accessible and down to earth. KO attorneys have saved me time, money, and their proactive advice has kept us on track.

Thank you to our legal team KO for handling the deluge of partner contracts! We’re thankful to have you on team Gales, and your timeliness/quality of work is invaluable!

KO is a part of our team. Getting them involved is seamless. It’s like having an in-house contracts group, but better. They understand our business and the issues we face. They get things done.

KO is very timely in drafting and turning documents. They have the  global experience to be very flexible on the fly to enable quick closing of contracts without exposing us to undue risk.

KO provides a unique offering. It’s rare to find a law firm that acts like in-house counsel and truly understands that we need to be protected, but we don’t have time to waste and just need to get things done.

John Gaddis, Ian Kuliasha, and the team at KO Law Firm have been long-term partners supporting us in acquiring several portfolio companies over the years. KO continually provides smart business solutions and top-notch legal expertise to both successfully close acquisitions and guide executive teams looking for a new path forward.

Brad at KO Law was critical to completing this significant collaboration with Janssen. He provided a strong combination of smart legal counsel and significant life sciences industry expertise that was invaluable to securing this partnership and thereby providing better treatment for bladder cancer patients in the future.

The KO team has been very responsive and diligent in handling our legal service requests. They demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency in helping us navigate legal complexities in the various business and contractual projects we’ve undertaken.

It is really amazing to have a legal partner who is so thoughtful, kind, and responsive. I feel like KO understands who we are and what we are trying to accomplish in a way that goes far beyond the legal work we do together. KO has dramatically improved our contracts in a way that feels on brand and on mission for us on critical and fast-moving issues.
