Charles St-Pierre

Competent M&A guidance, though communication could improve

We engaged Charles St-Pierre at Norton Rose Fulbright for a mid-sized acquisition of a Texas-based manufacturing company. His national reputation in Mergers and Acquisitions Law is evident; he possesses a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and the due diligence process was thorough. His background and recognition in this specific field gave us confidence. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal work itself was solid, we often experienced significant delays in receiving responses to emails, which created anxiety during time-sensitive negotiations. Updates sometimes felt reactive rather than proactive. The final agreements were expertly drafted, aligning with the high standards of his firm, but managing our expectations on timelines and accessibility would have elevated the experience. For straightforward M&A matters where you are not in a rush, his expertise is reliable, but be prepared to follow up persistently.
