What clients say
Selected feedback from attorneys, executives, and organizations who have engaged Avis on high-stakes matters.
“Mr. Bullbulyan served as an expert witness in a case my firm handled. He was able to quickly digest a lot of detailed information…Importantly, he was able to take detailed information and convey his conclusions in a succinct and east to understand manner. Without his expert analysis, we would not have been as well positioned going into trial. He was critical to reaching a favorable resolution of the case—one which greatly benefitted our client.
— Erick Kuylman - Salt Law Group "I first engaged Avis to help navigate the complexities of entering a highly regulated industry. Over time, that engagement evolved into a friendship and trusted advisory relationship spanning multiple businesses, transactions, development projects, partnerships, and strategic initiatives across a variety of industries.
What sets Avis apart is his ability to quickly identify the issues that matter, cut through distractions, and maintain focus on the factors that ultimately drive outcomes. He has a unique ability to break down complex problems, see risks and opportunities others often miss, and develop practical solutions grounded in both experience and sound judgment.
Throughout our relationship, his advice has not only helped create significant value, but has also helped avoid costly mistakes and risks that could have had far greater financial consequences. Whether evaluating opportunities, negotiating transactions, navigating regulatory issues, or thinking through long-term strategy, he consistently brings clarity, perspective, and insight. He is one of the first people I call when facing an important decision.”
— Dr. Greg Daniel - Luthuli Group (Investor)"I've worked with Avis on a variety of matters over the years. What stands out most is his ability to quickly understand complex situations, separate facts from emotions, and focus on practical solutions. He's someone I trust to give an honest opinion, even when it's not necessarily what people want to hear. During some particularly challenging situations involving multiple parties, strong personalities, and significant public attention, his judgment, discretion, and ability to navigate competing interests proved extremely valuable. What I've always appreciated is that while others can get caught up in the noise, emotions, or pressure surrounding a situation, Avis remains clear-headed and focused on finding a path forward. Whether we're discussing policy or sensitive issues that require careful handling, he consistently brings clarity, perspective, and a steady hand."
