“When I am considering hiring a lawyer, I look at whether they spend time to assess my pain factors, listening to what our needs are going to be. I want problem-solvers rather than over-analyzers, who understand my priorities as well as my issues. Other lawyers look solely at legal issues. Turinas & Bird looks at both the legal issues and practical issues, and then form a strategy. Among other things, I rely on them as an accessible sounding board. They function as our outsourced general counsel.”

“With Turinas & Bird, I got exactly what I wanted, from the right person, and knew my company’s interests were well-protected, on our company’s most significant international transaction. Unlike her counterparts at a large law firm, Alice gives us her full attention without needlessly running up the bill. In addition to having significant corporate and international experience, she is friendly, conscientious, quick to understand new situations, and nimble in navigating the best way through a challenging problem. Her advice is straightforward: ‘This is what we need to do to protect your company and achieve your goals.'”

“Turinas & Bird is our go-to law firm for our expansion to have a permanent presence in North America. Alice’s experiences as a lawyer in both the US and the UK, our headquarters country, have been invaluable to us. I also appreciate her genuine concern for our issues, and how she understands the challenges in providing professional services to global consumer products companies.”

“When we co-principals of our consulting firm needed a shareholders agreement, I chose Turinas & Bird because of Alice Turinas’ practical, problem-solving approach. From discussions I had with her before she was aware that we were looking for legal advice, it was evident that she had deep experience with joint ventures and co-ownership issues. Alice laid out our choices in a clear, jargon-free way, so we could have our agreement tailored to suit our needs and priorities. Since then she has also advised on client agreements involving intellectual property matters, and has proven once again to be pleasant, responsive and practical. I am confident that she puts our company’s interests before her own; for her, we are not just another source of billable hours.”

“Alice Turinas has a wide range of technology skills and startup business experience. Thanks to that, she has offered valuable suggestions, and I know Turinas & Bird can handle our needs as we grow. Because I like an answer that addresses the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of an issue, Alice made sure that I had a good understanding of the available options, and not just the strict legal answer. And while other firms lack a personal touch and thoroughness, Alice is warm, outgoing and willing to go the extra mile. The results have been excellent: our issues were well understood, and the outcome has been far better than my expectation.”
Ryan Gyure
CEO, Cannonball Projects, Inc.
“Alice Turinas enabled us to close the sale of our business by the end of the year, saving us from paying substantially higher taxes had we completed the sale later. This was quite a feat, since she was not only dealing with the buyer, but also obtaining consent to the sale from the national franchise of which our business was a part. There were times when we doubted whether everything could get done before year end, but somehow, with her help, it was finished before our deadline.”

“During a ‘crunch’ period, Turinas & Bird handled negotiation of several agreements with technology providers. They sent frequent updates and recommendations with just the right amount of detail, demonstrating sophisticated experience and a results-driven attitude.”
