Shahed has been amazing to work with and has helped our contracting process immensely. Our legal process can be quite slow dealing with enterprise customers and his ability to turn documents around quickly and efficiently has reduced our sales cycles while always putting our company first. He doesn't just look to "win" a negotiation but understands where we need to protect our company while also making sure we are able to come to an agreement with larger organizations. He's always available to answer questions and makes sure that we understand what is going on during the legal negotiation. I'm super thankful for the work he does and helping us be successful.

One of the easiest legal experiences I've ever had. Shahed was knowledgeable, informative, and available every step of the way. Completely transparent about the process and receptive to any of my concerns. He went above and beyond the expected scope to guide my business down the proper path for success. Would highly recommend his practice to anyone in the digital world - worth every cent.

We engaged Shahed at a critical junction during our startup’s evolution, where we had to create multiple agreements to manage data, privacy and user activities for our customers. Shahed’s legal expertise combined with his background in information technology ventures provided the perfect combination of insight and experience for the task. His responsiveness, clarity and overall professionalism made working with him an enjoyable experience! I highly recommend his services for any startup venture.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Shahed personally for over a decade but did not have the opportunity to seek his legal expertise until now. My sibling and I are co-founding a startup together and we consider ourselves fortunate to have Shahed in our corner as our outside general counsel. From sharing deep knowledge regarding intellectual property matters, to incorporating our legal entities and filing trademarks with the USPTO, and now drafting crucial pre-launch documents - we have felt that our focus on development was never compromised due to Shahed's legal prowess and understanding of the startup space. There are an endless amount of moving parts when bootstrapping a startup, and having a strong attorney by your side is of fundamental importance. You can count on Shahed to lift the associated legal burden off your shoulders.

Our company has worked with Shahed for over a year and he is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and everything we have had him review or build-out for us has been great, precise, and quick turnover!

Shahed is amazing. Hands down. He provided, and provides us with an amazing level of support as we navigate a ton of different challenges. As a technology start up, legal issues are not always front of mind but when they pop up; we need guidance and fast. Not only does he pivot, he takes the time to deeply understand how we function, what we want, and where we are trying to get to. Then he helps to challenge and guide us to the right answer. I leave my conversations with him more informed, feeling better about the path forward and really confident that we have the right partner for both our short term and long term needs. Seriously an epic attorney as well as an awesome human. Overall, I'm not sure I could be more positive on working with him, his expertise or his approach. Winning combination all the way around.

Mr. Kader did a great job quickly assessing our needs, being transparent with his time, and communicating effectively with us. We've worked with a number of lawyers, but Mr. Kader's turn around time, clear explanations, and detailed oriented work is amazing. I absolutely love working with him and highly recommend his services.

I highly recommend Shahed - he has been a vital resource for my software sales team as we handle dozens of contracts at a time. He takes the time to answer your questions, explain his answers, pull in the appropriate SMEs internally, and is very professional on client-facing calls. I’m not entirely sure how Shahed became so up-to-speed with our technology and processes so quickly, but I am very glad he did!
