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 was deeply involved in a very complex acquisition for us in 2024. There were multiple parties involved in the transaction with a variety of lawyers, consultants, and other experts. Po stood out as the go-to resource for workable solutions and clear and comprehensive answers to questions. We would not have succeeded in completing the transaction without him. He proved to be consistently trustworthy, easy to work with, and creative in finding ways to move forward. He could see the end from the beginning, and he got us there.
At New Realm Brewing Company, we take pride in partnering with experts who can navigate complex legal matters with precision and skill. When we needed assistance with an amendment to our credit agreement, we turned to The Saidi Firm, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, The Saidi Firm demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs, providing clear, actionable advice and ensuring that every step of the process was handled efficiently and effectively. Their team was responsive, thorough, and professional throughout, helping us achieve our objectives with ease. We highly recommend The Saidi Firm to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable legal support. Their expertise and commitment to their clients are truly top-notch.
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.
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.
