Naveed Cheraghchi

Naveed’s clients are as varied as the thoughtful solutions he provides to whatever business issues are at hand. His first step with a new client is to have a conversation identifying goals and priorities. “This enables me to better serve my clients and makes me a competent advocate and negotiator because I understand the underlying motives rather than just the tasks to be completed,” he says.

Additionally, Naveed learns a great deal about each client’s company to be of maximum assistance. One of his favorite things about being a transactional attorney is gaining an in-depth knowledge of the businesses he works with across a wide range of industries and understanding what makes each business tick. He also recognizes the intensity of the situations his clients are in. “Selling a business or building an emerging company or startup can be very emotional for clients and I like to be a grounded sounding board that provides more than just legal counsel,” he says.

Before joining Burns & Levinson, Naveed worked at a midsize firm that focused exclusively on M&A.
