Our mid-sized technology firm engaged Barry Shapiro to navigate a sensitive board restructuring and governance overhaul. With shareholders expressing divergent views on strategic direction, we needed counsel who could translate complex governance principles into practical, actionable steps. Barry's deep understanding of corporate governance, honed over his 11 years of practice, was immediately evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he provided strategic context, helping us understand how different committee structures and director qualifications would impact our long-term objectives. His recognition in the field, including his Lawyer of the Year awards, felt well-deserved as he deftly balanced compliance with our unique corporate culture. The process was thorough, and the final governance framework is robust yet flexible. The only slight drawback was that during peak periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to 48 hours, though his associate was always available as a backup. Overall, Barry and the team at Robinson Sheppard Shapiro provided exceptional value. He transformed a potentially contentious process into a collaborative one, leaving us with a stronger, more transparent governance foundation. I would confidently recommend him to any Chicago-area company facing similar corporate stewardship challenges.
