Knowledgeable but communication could be clearer

Mr. Nisbet's five decades of experience in employee benefits law are evident. He handled our company's complex ERISA compliance review stemming from a recent acquisition. His deep knowledge of the tax implications was clear, and his recognition in the field is well-deserved. However, we sometimes experienced delays in receiving responses, and explanations of certain legal strategies could have been more straightforward for our non-legal team. For straightforward, expert guidance on benefits matters, he is competent, but be prepared to follow up and ask clarifying questions.
