    Clients say, "Adam Tope is truly an integral part of our team. We don’t consider him outside counsel or simply a service provider – he's actively engaged with our progress, proactive in keeping us headed in the right direction, and always accountable. Where I think he’s different than past fund counsel is his attitude of what can be done. Instead of citing obstacles in the way, he understands the goal and finds creative ways to accomplish it. Above all, everyone on our team considers him a friend."

    "Adam Tope made a commitment to us extremely early in the formation of Harmonic. He invested significantly in our firm before there was any visibility to success. He knowingly took on risk of not getting paid, and for that we are forever grateful for his loyalty."
