Joey Neugart • General Counsel
Jann is incredibly fast and responsive. We can't be more impressed by how she was able to learn our very confusing landscape so quickly.

Karen Klein • General Counsel
UpCounsel gives HotelTonight seamless access to high quality legal advice and subject expertise that we'd expect from a big law firm but at a lower price.

Sean Conway • CEO & Co-Founder
The matches are so precise that I don't have to spend my time reviewing multiple proposals.

Shawn Carolan • Managing Director
There's a certain set of practices and 'gotchas' in Silicon Valley that my attorney needed to understand.

Singularity University
Singularity University, an expanding global benefit corporation operating five business units, faced mounting legal demands they lacked capacity to handle. Their Conferences and Summits unit particularly struggled with contract reviews from vendors, participant terms and conditions, and speaker media releases. UpCounsel connected them with Jann Moorhead, a global transactional attorney with 25+ years of experience, enabling rapid project completion and allowing the unit to maintain development momentum.

Pillow
Pillow's CEO relied on an expensive big tech law firm ($400-600/hour) with slow responses and required significant personal oversight. As the company scaled rapidly with doubled headcount, Sean Conway needed to reduce legal costs while maintaining quality. UpCounsel Enterprise provided a dedicated account manager who hand-selected attorneys specializing in immigration, contract management, and real estate—Pillow's core legal needs.

HotelTonight
HotelTonight's single in-house attorney Karen Klein was handling approximately 100 hours of legal work weekly and needed responsive employment law specialists without hiring additional full-time staff. UpCounsel matched them with Josh Garber, a UPenn Law School graduate with experience at major firms and companies like Tesla, Google, and Gap, who was integrated directly with the HR department.

Menlo Ventures
Menlo Ventures Managing Director Shawn Carolan needed experienced legal counsel for a Series A investment but wanted to avoid paying large law firm rates for a straightforward transaction. UpCounsel's account executive provided three qualified attorney candidates within hours, and Carolan hired an experienced attorney with Wilson Sonsini background and eight years in venture financings—all within 60 minutes.
