Recommendations

“Eve assumed the role of an in-house corporate counsel on a contract basis when I was CEO of Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc. Eve is extremely detail-oriented and proficient in negotiating and executing contracts. I found her to be very fair in her dealings with the other side and this attitude makes getting contracts across the line easier. We worked together at a time when there was substantial deal flow and she never got flustered, remained calm and kept the process on track. I would highly recommend Eve for transaction work, specifically in the pharmaceutical industry, as her knowledge of all facets together with business development is excellent.”     –Ian Jacobson, Cpoint Capital Inc.
