Andrea M. Kirshenbaum

Knowledgeable but communication could be more consistent

I engaged Andrea Kirshenbaum at Littler for guidance on a complex non-compete agreement and separation package for a departing senior manager. Her deep knowledge in employment law management was immediately apparent. With 24 years of experience and recognition from Best Lawyers, she clearly understands the intricacies of Pennsylvania employment law. Her analysis of the contractual risks was thorough, and the final documents she helped draft were solid. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Andrea herself was sharp, there were times when communication lagged. Responses to follow-up emails sometimes took several business days, and it was occasionally unclear who on her team was handling specific updates. For a matter that felt urgent on my end, the pace felt measured. The billing was as expected for a firm of Littler's caliber, but the value was somewhat tempered by the need for me to persistently seek status updates. She is undoubtedly a competent attorney who achieved the core legal objective, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
