“Working with the SFJ team to design the optimal structure for Apellis was a truly collaborative effort.  Together we structured a deal that was honestly transformational for Apellis and a true success for SFJ.  They were creative, balancing their obligations with our needs and working with them was a pleasure.  I would highly recommend.
