I engaged Caitlin Maddox at Barack Ferrazzano for guidance on a regulatory compliance review for our mid-sized bank, stemming from a recent acquisition. Her knowledge of financial services regulation law is evident, and her background advising institutions on transactional matters provided a solid foundation for our needs. She correctly identified several key risk areas in our proposed operational integration, and her strategic input during our meetings was valuable. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional itself. There were periods where responses to follow-up emails took longer than expected, leaving our internal team waiting on decisions. While the legal work was technically sound and she clearly understands the banking landscape—her recognition in Banking and Finance Law is no surprise—managing client expectations on timelines could be sharper. For straightforward regulatory analysis, she is a capable attorney, but for matters requiring more frequent touchpoints and proactive updates, you may need to set very clear communication protocols from the outset.
