'Finn Pressly is able to explain complex concepts in plain language. He never just gives the pure legal answer. Rather, he appreciates that my job is to help the business balance various risks so helps me think through the various options available and the associated risks to get to a practical solution that is actually workable in our specific environment. Most attorneys only want to provide the pure legal answer. But Finn is a true partner and resource.'
