“I was recommended to Michael by a partner at a large firm who realized that my then start-up company could not afford that firm's fees.

“Jack has helped in securing top talent by preparing and negotiating employment agreements for our key personnel in our restaurant and wine bar business. He has also helped amend our investor and operating documentation, strengthening our agreements, resulting in peace of mind. In addition to being one of the smartest individuals I know, Jack is extremely good at what he does. He has a terrific capacity to listen to my explanation of a business problem, process it and rephrase it, displaying an acute comprehension of the issue or problem. I'm very happy with all the legal work he and his firm do for my company. I recommend him unequivocally for all hospitality- related legal work.”

“Harry represented Seagram when my company purchased their Puerto Rico operations. He was talented and tough, but forthright and fair. When he left Seagram, we wanted him on our side, and we have relied on him ever since.”
— Felix J. Serrallés, Jr.- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
“Jack and Harry transcend the typical definition of what an attorney does. They have an eloquent way of stating the facts and solutions; its almost like poetry. I've worked with both and relied on their expertise to get the job done. They are never reluctant to state their professional opinion on what is best for a client. The attorneys at KB&G are truly a great combination of both business and personal attorneys.”

“I brought Harry in as General Counsel for several packaging companies which I ran or for which I consulted. He is my lawyer of choice. Harry not only is the preeminent deal lawyer I know he is a business expert. He is the best business advisor I have in the world. Harry and I worked out a very complex and challenging technological agreement on behalf of Seagram and DuPont with a reluctant third party venturer. Despite the strong potential for conflicts of interest and several seeming stalemates, Harry made it work, and work well.”
— Jack B. Wieler- Business Consultant
“For more than 20 years, we have found Kent Beatty & Gordon to have unquestionable integrity and ethics. The quality of the firm's legal work and dedication is excellent. We have been completely satisfied with their expertise, knowledge and diligence.”
— Alberto J. Torruella, Esq.- Executive Vice President
“KB&G did an excellent job representing us in an extremely complex matter relating not only to asset-based financing in the real estate arena, but also public securities issues. Harry Beatty and Michael Kent were not only absolutely on point on the legal issues, but they were also able to bring about a practical economic solution to our over $50 million problem. Being an attorney, I can tell you that there are many firms that can analyze the legal positions, but few that can utilize that knowledge and bring about an extremely positive result for the client, which KB&G has done in its representation of us.”
— Thomas J. Cannon, III, Esq.
