I engaged Ed Wes at Perkins Coie to assist with the acquisition of a small SaaS startup my company was pursuing. His credentials are undeniably impressive, particularly his long-standing focus on Technology Law in the Bay Area, and his recognition in the field gave us confidence. He clearly understood the complex IP and data privacy issues inherent to the deal, and his 18 years of experience showed in the thoroughness of the due diligence and contract drafting. The final agreement was robust. However, our experience was mixed on the service side. While Ed himself was sharp, we often interacted with junior associates, and communication timelines were inconsistent. Responses to urgent, time-sensitive questions sometimes took longer than expected, requiring multiple follow-ups. For a firm of this caliber, we anticipated a more streamlined and responsive client experience. In the end, the legal work was competent and the deal closed successfully, but the process felt more cumbersome than it should have for the premium involved. He is a knowledgeable attorney, but set clear expectations about communication protocols from the outset.
