Brian O'Connor at Skadden provided excellent representation for our company during a challenging breach of contract and partnership dispute. His recognition in commercial litigation is well-deserved; he demonstrated a sharp understanding of the nuances in Illinois contract law and formulated a strategy that protected our interests while keeping an eye on a potential settlement. While his billing rates reflect the firm's premium standing, the value was evident in the thorough preparation and the favorable resolution we achieved. Communication was generally clear and proactive, though there were occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods. I would confidently recommend Brian for complex commercial matters in the Chicago market.
