A solid attorney with deep corporate experience

I engaged Brett Harris at Wilentz Goldman to assist with the sale of my family-owned manufacturing business. With over three decades of experience, her expertise in transactional matters, particularly asset acquisitions, was immediately apparent. She is clearly knowledgeable, and her recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Corporate Law for Woodbridge is well-earned in that regard. The legal work on the deal structure and due diligence was thorough and precise. However, my experience was mixed. While the final outcome was satisfactory, communication was sometimes a challenge. Responses to emails could take several days, and updates often felt reactive rather than proactive. At times, it seemed my matter was competing for attention within a larger caseload. For a straightforward transaction, her competence is undeniable, and I never doubted her legal acumen. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, direct communication and a more hands-on, guiding approach throughout a stressful process, expectations may need to be managed. She is a capable attorney who delivered on the core legal work, but the overall client service experience felt merely adequate.
