“When it came time to retire from business ownership after three decades, we turned to Bill Eigner’s team at Procopio to assist us with acquisition. Bill’s team not only guided us in the process, they drove the process, focusing specifically on our requirements. Procopio helped us to hold the line where we needed to, what we could safely give on, and provided excellent counsel as to how to limit costs. Bill’s team also helped us to negotiate and ensure the best possible futures for our staff, and for our short-term continued employment through the transition. Throughout the process, they worked diligently to smooth out the process for us in a type of transaction we will only be involved in once in our lives and so had no experience of. I know for a fact that we got a much better deal and saved more directly than Procopio cost us with their timely advice and experience in these matters. I couldn’t recommend a partner more highly.” — Matthew Strebe, Founder and President, Connetic
“I firmly believe I received world-class representation from Bill Eigner and Procopio far exceeding counsel opposite us at the negotiating table. The peace of mind this created allowed me to focus more on the strategic aspects of the deal and crafting the best possible terms. The result was a well-crafted and thoroughly vetted legal framework for our M&A. I am confident this represents the best possible outcome for the last 18 years of my blood, sweat and tears.” — Brett Humphrey, Founder, Fairway Technologies (acquired by Accenture)
“Bill is the finest legal counsel I have ever come across over the last twenty years in working with many high caliber law firms and lawyers. What makes Bill very special is his superb legal expertise, exceptional people skills and extraordinary business acumen. He is a delight to work with, and I strongly recommend him.” — Sai Huda, former Chairman & CEO, Compliance Coach; former Senior VP and General Manager, FIS Compliance Solutions (We represented Compliance Coach in its sale to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE: FIS).)
“Bill Eigner and his colleagues at Procopio did a great job in representing us in the sale of five of our Nevada-based companies to a large, private equity-backed national company in a very complex transaction that required expertise in Nevada, Delaware and California law. Our companies consult for large scale developers in multifamily, residential, commercial, and mixed-use in the building industry. Bill made a great effort to understand our needs and motivations. Bill and his team had the intelligence, experience, business and tax expertise, negotiation expertise and cool-headedness to get us across the finish line. I strongly recommend Bill and his team to anyone selling a business where everything is on the line. You can count on Bill and his team!” — Galo LeBron, Founder and former CEO and Chairman of Ei Companies, and Board Member of DPIS Builder Services.
“I have relied on Bill’s expertise and counsel in various transactions involving corporate matters of my previous employer, a publicly-owned company with subsidiary operations in Australia and the UK. In addition to Bill’s impressive background and wealth of knowledge in various corporate law practices and industries, Bill is an exceptionally talented and astute attorney with strong business acumen. He was adept at facilitating transactions by helping our company manage both business and legal risks. Bill’s expertise, strong business acumen, resourcefulness and involvement in our community distinguish him as a highly capable and effective attorney.” — T. Linh Nguyen, former CFO of International Lottery and Totalizator Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: ITSI)
“As Manager of a 15 MW Biomass fired generating facility (in the Imperial Valley), I benefited from Bill’s very able legal guidance as we recapitalized the venture, while resolving complex contract disputes involving participating partners and the purchasing utility. Bill’s facility to prepare petitions and responses before the California Public Utilities Commission, the Governor’s Office and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ensured retention of our qualifying facility status and a very positive outcome for the venture. His experience with early stage project/business development in a variety of industries proved valuable beyond just legal and compliance considerations, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his firm.” — Michael O’Leary, P.E., Energy and Industrial Solutions
“In my humble opinion, Bill Eigner is the best attorney I have encountered during my 64 years on this earth! We were in need of a Corporate General Counsel several years ago and Bill came exceptionally well recommended to us. There is nothing that this professional cannot do! Tactful, experienced, and well-connected internal to Procopio Law Firm and externally, Bill shares our ethical approach to conducting business, valuing uncompromising integrity above all else. I consider Bill one of my dearest friends, a trusted confidante, and a devoted advisor. I give Bill Eigner my highest personal and professional endorsement!” — Patrick Gough, CEO/President of PKL Services, Inc. (defense contractor)
