‘The Goodwin team has done an exceptional job at understanding our business and its needs.'
‘Goodwin has a great pulse on market trends and always offers up their viewpoint on how we should approach negotiations. They are very flexible and efficient in working through markups and their associates are stronger than some other firms. I find that they do not just push for terms for the sake of it and think about practical applications when advising where to focus.’
‘Kevin Grumberg has a strong command of the lower middle market and has a significant amount of experience across lending groups, which makes him a very good resource for figuring out how to meet in the middle on hot points.'
