In the past, I've had to choose between a legal team that was fast but did subpar work or a highly skilled one that would take weeks to turn things around. I've been delighted to discover both at CGI— Every attorney I've worked with there has been top-notch.

Doppler Technologies, Inc.
Doppler Technologies, Inc.Christian Anstett, General Counsel
CGL's strategic guidance has been essential for Doppler across contract negotiations, regulatory compliance, and cross-departmental coordination. They excel at translating complex legal frameworks into practical business solutions CGL's legal expertise has been game-changing for Doppler. CGL covers a lot of subject areas, and it's rare that an issue arises that they can't handle. Their strategic approach to customer contract negotiations provided us with the language and rationale to protect our business while still closing deals with major clients, helping maintain appropriate risk boundaries without sacrificing growth. What sets them apart is their ability to understand the underlying business context and need to operationalize the legal advice. As General Counsel, I particularly value that CGL is always partnering with me to find real, workable solutions to complex problems, and not just preparing a memo with some options and the costs/benefits of each option.
Trial By Fire Solutions
Trial By Fire SolutionsJon Cecchettini, Founder 
GL goes beyond typical outside counsel—they're strategic partners who understand our eClinical business inside and out. From crafting privacy solutions for our clinical data workflows to helping us understand and control our patent strategy As the founder of Trial By Fire Solutions, developing eClinical platforms that streamline clinical study management, I needed legal counsel who could navigate both cutting-edge technology and complex regulations. CGL has become far more than our outside general counsel—they're strategic partners who dive deep into our business model and anticipate legal challenges before they arise.  When we faced nuanced questions from customers about our data practices and internal privacy program, CGL provided invaluable guidance. They didn't offer off-the-shelf GDPR advice - they worked closely with us to craft thoughtful responses, refine our policies, and develop compliance strategies tailored to our platform's unique data flows. When our patent firm drafted applications in dense legal language we couldn't decipher, CGL stepped in to help us understand exactly what we were filing and guided us through each step of the process, putting us back in control of our own IP strategy. And when we were negotiating complex commercial agreements, CGL structured deals that protected our interests while meeting our counterparties' requirements.  CGL operates as an extension of our team, understanding that every legal decision impacts our mission to make clinical trials more accessible and affordable.
