“I’ve been working with Phil for a very long time; it’s been a great experience working with him.
He restructured the company altogether from the get-go. He’s astounding. He comes at law from
a very detailed perspective and a very business-oriented perspective I hadn’t encountered before.
[A] focus on taxes and exit strategies is an obvious thing for a startup company to think through,
but it was not obvious to me that we would be thinking about these things this early on. He’s just
a really good attorney.”

“Phil Crowley has been extremely helpful in providing quick and thoughtful counsel regarding our
business needs. Highly recommend his services.”

A Gateway to U.S. Growth Eisner Advisory Group

“As a partner of the Eisner Advisory Group, I’m firmly committed to helping international life
sciences and technology companies expand their operations into the U.S. Through our “Coming
to America” program, we help these entities fulfill their entrepreneurial journey — from assisting
them in professionalizing and growing their U.S. business to serving as a sounding board when
things don’t go as initially planned. Our goal is to provide them with the comfort of knowing they
are supported through whatever compliance elements or logistical needs arise on that journey.
“Because many of these companies don’t have a U.S. attorney, we readily refer them to Crowley
Law. We’ve enjoyed a great relationship with Phil’s firm, which is entrepreneur-friendly and has
done a fantastic job helping our clients set up their initial companies, put employment agreements
in place, enter into leases for offices and perform many other critical tasks. Crowley Law gets
things done quickly while understanding the needs of technology-driven companies. Most
importantly, Phil always takes time to listen. His level of care helps all boats rise with the tide, and
I always refer him with great confidence.”

“Calder Biosciences is exploring a new era in vaccines by developing a 3D shape-stabilizing
technology that locks vaccine immunogens in the same structure found on pathogens, enhancing
immune protection. By preserving the correct shape for longer, our process improves antibody
recognition and binding — boosting potency, efficacy and safety. “When we started working with
Phil in 2017, we were still under a previous company, whose activities included work in industrial
enzymes and protein chips. As we moved into vaccines, he believed it was best to start from the
ground up with a new company. He created an asset transfer agreement, formed Calder and
coordinated the operational paperwork needed to move us from an LLC to a C corporation. Since
then, we’ve received millions in grants and additional millions in venture financing. Moving
forward, we’re working to secure strategic and investment partners to participate in a round of
venture funding that will allow us to complete clinical manufacturing of our lead program, run a
Ph1 study, and ultimately bring to the marketplace. “Phil devised a truly elegant legal framework
to transfer the assets, and we’ve been very impressed by his services, background and expertise.
We’ve previously worked with larger firms, but Crowley Law LLC’s capabilities and greater
availability were a much better fit for our company.”

Words on a Reciprocal Relationship

“As attorneys, our reputation is one of our primary assets, so we must have a trustworthy referral
network. Crowley Law LLC has been a go-to referral firm for nearly a decade and remains a
tremendous resource. Phil is so tapped into the industry and has such great experience that we
know our clients will always be in good hands. Even when a client’s request falls outside Crowley
Law LLC’s direct services, Philip’s extensive network of contacts ensures that clients will be
directed to the most appropriate resources to fulfill their needs. “I once had a friend from grad
school — who is a very successful academic scientist and leader in his field — contact me for
advice after he developed a compound with therapeutic potential and sought to form a company.
The first thing I said was, ‘Call Phil Crowley!’ Phil was able to assist him in advancing his
academic work into a company and potential commercial endeavor. Phil’s expertise, guidance and
support put him in the best position to succeed. “Phil is a solid, forward-thinking person who
strives to do the right thing. I’m always comfortable and confident referring my clients to him.”

Phil brings decades of big company executive experience combined with an entrepreneurial ability to think outside the box.
