Client Testimonials

I have a long relationship with Eva, starting with my previous company. When I joined Westport, the company was dissatisfied with its existing U.S. legal counsel, and Eva was the first person that I called. We were about to launch our follow-on offering. It was a complete success because of the combination of Eva's extensive knowledge and experience, and the fast-acting team effort. When other matters arise that require legal advice, Eva has always brought in the right person or team with the experience and expertise to help us address and resolve specific matters.
