I engaged Caitlin Stern at Perkins Coie for guidance on a complex environmental compliance matter related to a small-scale renewable energy project in the Bay Area. Her background in Energy and Environmental Law, including the recognition from Best Lawyers, was evident in her technical analysis. She provided a thorough review of the regulatory landscape, which was precisely the expertise we sought. However, the experience was mixed. While the final work product was solid, there were noticeable delays in email responses, sometimes taking several business days for a simple update. This created some anxiety during time-sensitive phases of the project. Furthermore, explanations of certain legal strategies, while ultimately correct, occasionally felt rushed during our calls, leaving me to seek clarification later. For straightforward, non-urgent matters requiring her specific recognized expertise, she is capable. Just be prepared to manage expectations around communication timelines and proactively ask for detailed explanations.
