Testimonials
“Silicon Valley Experience”
Roman Kikta
Managing Partner, Mobility Ventures / CEO & Founder, Phenometrix
“Svetlana Attestatova is an experienced legal counselor who cares about and works in the best interests of her clients. She assisted us with launching our startup with corporate formation, shareholder, partnership, and sales agreements, as well as all legal risk assessments. She is calming, astute, tough, and protective and stays hands-on from start to finish. I found Svetlana to be very responsive, pragmatic and clear throughout and a pleasure to deal with. With Svetlana you get the best of both worlds – the Silicon Valley experience and expertise from her days with a large global firm plus the personal client service of a boutique and an attorney that truly cares.”

“Crafts Pragmatic Business Solutions”
Bill Brinkman
Principal & Founder, Jigsaw Advisors
“Svetlana has a unique combination of corporate lawyer and interim manager of troubled company experience, and as a result, she possesses a perspective and mentality that allows her to resolve complex business issues in an analytical, pragmatic, and cost-effective way. She has the ability to quickly analyze the situation, often with incomplete information and under demanding circumstances, and to craft pragmatic business solutions that address the core issues, not just the symptoms. Smart, tenacious, and detail-oriented—bottom line is that Svetlana solves her client’s problems and is a ‘bulldog’ that gets stuff done.”
“Strategic Thinking, Leadership”
Suzzanne Uhland
Partner, Latham & Watkins LLP
“I have had the great honor to work with Svetlana Attestatova on several projects, and I am consistently impressed with her strategic thinking, leadership and business acumen. As an interim CEO, Ms. Attestatova successfully navigated a complex distressed healthcare workout to achieve a value-maximizing outcome for our client. She was also particularly adept at diffusing the highly-charged situations that accompany distressed situations. She is also accomplished as a chief legal officer and brings to the task both her Big law and in-house experience. She can efficiently address a variety of commercial matters and cost-effectively manage outside counsel as needed. I cannot say enough about Ms. Attestatova’s resolve in achieving successful results for her clients.”
“Trustworthy, Bright And Thoughtful”
Joel Freedman
CEO & Founder, Paladin Healthcare Capital / Chairman, eVerse
“Svetlana has served as a trusted advisor to my company, Paladin Healthcare Capital, for over six years, first, when she transitioned from Big law to inhouse and later, when she became the interim CEO of one of my businesses. In the span of my 30+ year career, as an investment banker, healthcare executive/advisor and business owner, I have not met a more trustworthy, bright and thoughtful professional who gets things done. I have worked with hundreds of lawyers from dozens and dozens of law firms, and I have not seen anyone manage her team and outside counsel and handle complex business and legal projects more effectively than Svetlana. She has the ability to identify and assemble a great team and to see things to their completion, which is a rare trait among lawyers. Svetlana is not just a lawyer; she is a business advisor and an accomplished executive who has demonstrated over and over her ability to thrive under very stressful and demanding circumstances. I recommend her without reservation.”
“Legal Advice That Is Practical”
Edward Moss
Partner, Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP
“Svetlana is one of the most talented attorneys with whom I’ve worked. She is a great strategic thinker and a tireless worker, and she has the unique ability to offer expert legal advice that is practical and takes business issues into account.”
