I engaged Andrew Butler at Winston & Strawn to assist with a complex securities offering for my company. His technical knowledge, particularly in capital markets compliance, was evident and aligns with his recognition in those fields. The documentation he drafted for the SEC filing was thorough and precise. However, my experience was mixed. While Andrew is clearly intelligent and his Columbia Law background shows, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to time-sensitive emails sometimes took several days, and updates weren't always proactive, which added to our stress during a tight regulatory timeline. For straightforward legal questions on corporate governance post-filing, his advice was sound and helpful. He knows the law, and the firm's resources are top-tier. For a high-stakes, fast-moving matter, however, I expected a more consistently responsive partnership. He is a capable attorney who delivered on the core legal work, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
