Testimonials

My relationship with Ronin Legal and Shantanu has advanced exponentially in a very positive direction in a very short time. The Ronin team is zealous in their partnership with us to advance the mission of our small start-up to become a world leader in neuroscience development. Ronin has taken the lead with review of our legal and technical documents and contracts. They are subject matter experts in general counsel services across our global environment. It is a pleasure to work with a team that is pragmatic and responsive in all circumstances. They are second to none.

Janet Flisak

Executive Director, Clinical Development, Engrail Therapeutics

Shantanu and the team at Ronin have been invaluable partners for our investment firm’s expansion into co-development of specialty pharmaceutical drugs. As we made the transition from more traditional VC investing to direct drug development collaborations, the team at Ronin have utilized their deep domain expertise in cross border pharma to help us set up an effective and compliant structure for our project. I would highly recommend Ronin to any organization in the life sciences space that is looking for legal partners with in depth understanding of the various nuances of this dynamic sector.

Zarvaan Merchant

Managing Director, Spektar Therapeutics

I’ve been very happy with Ronin’s ability to ramp resources up or down depending on what we require in a particular week or month. In addition, the ability to connect with multiple lawyers across jurisdictions quickly (US, UK, UAE, Singapore), help us to assess international law firms and then work with them to get the best legal advice is very appreciated.

Bhuvan Srinivasan

Shantanu and the Ronin team have been very pragmatic and responsive business partners, working with Konfer – an agentic genAI product for confident continuous compliance to Regulations. They analysed the state of AI regulation in various countries, and reviewed the EU AI Act and other relevant AI legislation offerings of our product. The team’s ability to align complex legal information to product offerings has been invaluable to us. Ronin Legal has negotiated our business contracts for partnerships. They’re solution-oriented and cost-effective, and I would highly recommend Ronin Legal to startups and tech companies everywhere, and especially those building AI powered businesses.

Shantanu and team Ronin were meticulous, detailed, persevering and most importantly batting entirely for our side through our seed round fundraise and beyond.
