I will add my thanks and appreciation, Michael. Your attention to detail is fantastic and your constant effort to ensure that we understood not just the words but the intent and the risks is exactly the kind of exceptional performance that a business owner wants from their lawyer. You have been a great professional and a good friend to us. We look forward to many more successful negotiations in the future

His driven dedication throughout, and his exceptional performance at our general meeting, were critical to the comprehensively successful outcome.
