Priyanka was excellent to work with - very responsive, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I strongly recommend her for any legal work you have. 10/10!
Justin Marston - CEO | Bamboo App Inc. (USA)
Priyanka and team rocks. They wrote a very complex and customized set of terms and conditions for us, which would have stretched any law firm here in the US. I have worked with several large law firms in the US, and I find the work quality from Sancus to be consistent with attorneys I was paying 10X for here in the US. Language and culture are not barriers, their team is very Westernized.

To be frank, she is very kind, user-friendly, and cool in every occasion when it comes to work. Just like a friend she talks to us and put all that she has to fulfil our expectation. In fact, she tried to help us in all the ways we wanted even if she is not an expert in that. In our opinion, it is a very good attitude and we wish Priyanka a very bright future ahead. We will use Sancus legal for all our legal needs in future and would recommend them for those who need a good legal assistance for their company. Don't take our word, just give her a try. "
