" Shermin is the ultimate strategic advisor with a strong legal foundation and sharp business acumen."
- Tanya Choi
Her ability to understand the dichotomous nature of key business decisions - the human side and the technical, legal side - allows her to lend a dynamic perspective to her guidance. I would recommend Shermin to entrepreneurs and creative business leaders who value the educational, hand-holding experience she provides as well as her modern understanding of business needs.
" LVLUP team's primary interest is the success of our business"
