“Brian has the ability to combine finer legal insights with key business points. His contract drafting style is comprehensive, yet concise, and his ability to grasp important business issues and anticipate potential pitfalls has helped us to avoid unnecessary contract risk. Brian is one of those all too rare attorneys who combines practical advice with a broad legal understanding.

“In our business, we regularly talk to and negotiate with attorneys across the country. I'd place Brian in the top 10% of all of the attorneys we've worked with.”

Scott Greenwell
Principal, Hennigan Tower Corporation

“While I was CFO of eCustomers, Inc., Brian started doing the legal work for us. He quickly proved that he had a strong grasp of the legal issues involved, but more importantly, he displayed his strengths as a business person. He led our contract efforts with our first customer, and did a great job of finalizing the contract quickly while preserving the key business issues we wanted.

“Brian is a quick study, and approaches issues with the goal of accomplishing the business objective. He makes constructive suggestions on how to get the deal done to minimize the risks. He is also very productive; I was regularly amazed at how quickly he could generate contracts for us. As former managing partner of the Austin office of Price Waterhouse and as CFO of several companies, I have worked with many attorneys over the years. I would strongly recommend Brian to anyone seeking business counsel.”

Bob Smith
Principal, Bridgepoint Consulting LLC

“KGI Wireless moved our corporate offices to Austin in 2001 and we needed an attorney. Brian came highly recommended to us and we have been very pleased with his services. Brian came up to speed quickly in terms of understanding our business and what mattered most to us. His advice is always well thought-out and relevant to our needs. He is a valuable resource to us and we count on him as a valuable member of our team.”

Mike Kampen
Principal, KGI Wireless Inc.

“SEC Planning relies on Brian as a trusted advisor in corporate and legal matters. We value the insight and thoughtfulness he brings to our organization along with his timely and responsive advice. His knowledge and guidance during the purchase of our company was invaluable, providing us the peace of mind to move forward with confidence. Even more so, we enjoy working with Brian, his easy going manner is refreshing in the complex world of legal jargon. I can honestly say that during tense or difficult negotiations, there is no one I would want more in my corner than Brian Burgess.”
