Camila Saïdi

Competent in litigation, but communication could improve

I engaged Camila Saïdi at Fasken in Chicago to handle a breach of contract dispute for my small business. Her recognized expertise in Corporate and Commercial Litigation was evident from the start. She demonstrated a clear command of the procedural complexities and her extensive courtroom experience gave me confidence during our initial strategy sessions. The legal arguments she drafted were thorough and reflected a deep understanding of commercial law. Ultimately, the matter was settled favorably, which I attribute to her negotiation skills. However, my experience was not without its frustrations. While Camila is undoubtedly knowledgeable, there were periods where communication was less than ideal. Responses to emails sometimes took several days, and updates on case developments often felt reactive rather than proactive. For a client navigating a stressful legal scenario, this created unnecessary anxiety. The billing was precise, but at times the value for certain administrative tasks felt disproportionate. In summary, Camila Saïdi is a capable litigator who gets results, and her recognition in the field is well-deserved. Yet, for the premium associated with a firm like Fasken, I had expected a more consistently responsive and client-forward experience. She is a solid choice for complex commercial issues, but be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding day-to-day engagement.
