I know this reads like a headline out of The Onion, but I’m not being sarcastic (for once!).

Over recent weeks I’ve experienced working with some incredible attorneys who have gone the extra mile in challenging situations.

For anyone who needs a referral to extraordinary legal minds in the VC/corporate finance/startup universe, I will be happy to share my top picks in:

• France
• Holland
• Italy
• Japan
• Turkey
• U.S.

I am long overdue for publicly acknowledging a group whom I’ve occasionally made fun of. To the lawyers with whom I’ve worked over the years: Thank you !
