Our company has utilized the legal services of The Saidi and Pouria (“Po”) Saidi, Esq. since 2017. Over the past four years, Po has assisted and represented us with several senior secured bank financings. Po is highly focused, possessing excellent communication and negotiation skills. His knowledge and expertise with credit facility agreements translated into efficient, uncontentious and successful closings with our lender and their outside counsel.
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.
The Saidi Firm has represented us on 3 amendments of our line of credit facility over the last few years, and we have been very happy with their work. Po has a strong sense of how each point of negotiation affects our business and clearly explains why a particular issue is (or isn't) worth fighting for. Po is responsive, professional, and focused on our success. Working with Po has been a pleasure.
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.

Since engaging Po in 2018, we have worked extensively with his firm, including on two refinancings, the termination of our credit facility in connection with the sale of our company to a new equity holder, and the negotiation of our new parent company’s credit facility. Engaging Po and Latham & Watkins simultaneously allowed us to shift expensive aspects of transactions like deal management and drafting responsibilities from Latham and agent’s counsel to Po while retaining access to Latham’s in‐depth market knowledge and expertise in specialty areas. This approach resulted in significantly reduced legal fees, including reductions in fees paid to agent’s counsel, without compromising the quality of legal advice. Po is particularly adept at ensuring that negotiations move forward in an efficient and timely manner, and while he provides excellent legal counsel, he is also able to translate the legal language into the practical business implications. He is a valuable member of our team, and we would not hesitate to recommend him or engage him in the future.
To get the best financing, your company needs high-quality legal advice at rates that make sense. We created the Saidi Firm to address this challenge. Our mission is to provide:
