WHAT YOU NEED
To get the best financing for your company, you need high-quality legal advice at rates that make sense. The challenge is to find smart and capable lawyers who also provide the best value. For some companies, this can be a difficult task given that management teams are not always educated consumers of legal services and most lawyers are not willing to educate clients in a way that jeopardizes the informational asymmetry that lawyers use to justify exorbitant rates.
We think there is a better way, and we’d love to show you exactly how you can receive the quality of advice that you need at rates that make sense.
At The Saidi Firm, our goal is to change the way you think about financings.
Our practice is focused on the representation of private equity firms, their portfolio investments, and corporate clients in connection with domestic and cross-border acquisition financings, refinancings and restructurings across a range of industries.

WHAT DO CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE DO?
Or to put it another way, how do you know you’re getting the right lawyer for the job? The best way for you to have confidence in any service provider is to hear how similarly situated individuals / clients have fared.
Here's what The Saidi Firm's clients have to say about our firm:
-
"We first started working with Po while he was at Latham & Watkins back in 2017 and have continued working with him since he started The Saidi Firm. Po worked on our original financing in 2017 and has since helped us close several amendments to our credit facility, and we are confident that using The Saidi Firm and Latham & Watkins together helped us significantly reduce legal expenses relating to our financing activities. Po’s strategies even helped us reduce our agent’s legal fees for which we were responsible. We view The Saidi Firm as an effective and valuable resource in our efforts to manage our financing expenses and strongly recommend their services."
-Andrew Rein, Chief Financial Officer, Hargray Communications

"Po has represented our company for over eight years, first at a prior law firm and for the last two years at The Saidi Firm. The transition to working with The Saidi Firm was seamless, and we have found the firm to be a beneficial and cost-effective alternative to working with larger law firms on some of our finance-related issues. Po is a capable and responsive attorney, and we would recommend his services to companies looking to reduce legal costs associated with their credit facilities."
