We are extremely proud of the feedback we have received from our clients for the quality of services provided by our RGP Legal consultants, which demonstrates our continued commitment to their success. Below are a few testimonials from a sampling of our clients:

"In short, very pleased. We've utilized RGP's attorneys on a few occasions, including recently on M&A and technology licensing transactions, and fully see the value of in-sourcing complex legal work. RGP's sophisticated attorneys were spot-on, hit the ground running, and earned the respect of our internal clients. We continue to view engaging attorneys from RGP as a best practice for periodic legal initiatives."

-- Christopher W. Ekren, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Sony Electronics Inc.

"We've now utilized a number of consultants from RGP to support our Legal, IT, and Accounting functions. The multiple attorneys and a paralegal assisted in a variety of areas, including commercial contracts, real estate, and corporate governance, as well as a complex, high stakes M&A deal. I've found that RGP consistently offers the highest caliber and quality of professionals. We've been pleased with their work product, all at rates which are quite reasonable considering their strong backgrounds. The client service team also goes the extra mile, assisting me in ways that are extremely helpful but don't necessarily mean something immediately to their bottom-line."

-- Harrison Clay, VP Renewable Fuels & General Counsel, Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

Equally important, internal clients who have worked with RGP's consultants have been complimentary of the level of their expertise, 'can-do' attitudes, and strong work ethic."
