Christine Lehman provided solid guidance on a complex corporate restructuring with significant tax implications. Her background in tax law, including her recognition by Best Lawyers, was evident in her thorough analysis of the code sections. However, as a newer partner at Kirkland & Ellis, her availability was limited. Responses to emails sometimes took several days, and our meetings felt somewhat rushed. While the legal outcome was satisfactory and her expertise is clear, the overall client experience was just adequate. For straightforward matters, she is capable, but you may need to manage expectations on responsiveness.
