Solid but Room to Improve

Ms. Pillon's expertise in insolvency and financial restructuring is evident—her 15 years of experience and notable awards speak for themselves. However, while she handled our corporate restructuring case competently, we felt communication could have been timelier, and we wished for a clearer explanation of the process. Overall, her knowledge is impressive, but expectations for responsiveness should be managed.

Competent but Room for Improvement

I worked with Elizabeth Pillon on a complex corporate restructuring case, and her expertise in insolvency law was evident. She handled the legal intricacies with precision, leveraging her 15 years of experience to navigate our case through some challenging regulatory hurdles. However, I found her communication to be somewhat formal and less personal than I'd hoped. While she clearly understands the nuances of financial restructuring, there were times when responses to my queries were delayed, and I had to follow up multiple times. Her recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field speaks to her competence, but I expected a bit more responsiveness given the urgency of our situation. Despite these minor frustrations, she delivered a solid outcome, and I’d consider her for similar cases—just with adjusted expectations for communication.

Highly Skilled in Restructuring

Liz Pillon handled a complex restructuring matter for our company with exceptional legal acumen and strategic insight. Her 15 years of experience in insolvency and financial restructuring were evident in her ability to navigate intricate legal challenges. While her expertise in corporate and commercial litigation was invaluable, I noticed her response time to emails could be a bit faster. The outcome was highly favorable, and her recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Toronto speaks to her caliber. A minor area for improvement would be a more flexible fee structure, but overall, her work was outstanding. Highly recommend for restructuring cases.

Solid Counsel, Room to Improve

Ms. Pillon displayed a strong grasp of insolvency and financial restructuring law during my complex bankruptcy matter. Her 15 years of experience were evident in her strategic approach. However, communication could have been more consistent—I often waited longer than expected for updates. While her expertise and awards (like being Lawyer of the Year in Toronto) are impressive, I wish the client experience had matched her legal acumen. Competent, but not exceptional.

Good lawyer but communication could improve

Elizabeth 'Liz' Pillon handled my business bankruptcy case with professionalism, leveraging her 15 years of experience in insolvency and financial restructuring. She demonstrated a strong grasp of corporate and commercial litigation, which was evident in how she strategized for our case. Her expertise was further validated by her recognition as Lawyer of the Year (2020) in Toronto, a distinction that brought me confidence from the start. However, while her legal counsel was sound, communication was a consistent issue. Responses were often delayed, and follow-ups felt rushed at times. Expectations were clear, but the lack of proactive updates left me occasionally anxious. The outcome was favorable, thanks to her deep knowledge of restructuring law, but the process could have been smoother with better communication. I would recommend her for complex insolvency cases but advise setting clear communication boundaries upfront.

Expertise with a Personal Touch

I recently worked with Elizabeth 'Liz' Pillon on a complex insolvency matter, and I was thoroughly impressed by her depth of knowledge. Her 15 years of experience in insolvency and financial restructuring law was evident in how she navigated our case with precision and clarity. Liz's recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field speaks volumes, and she lived up to that reputation. She was particularly effective in explaining complex legal concepts in a way that was accessible and actionable for our business. The strategy she developed for our restructuring was innovative and tailored to our unique situation. While I was delighted with the outcome, I did find that her response time to emails could be improved—sometimes it took a day or two longer than expected. However, once we were in communication, her guidance was invaluable. I would highly recommend Liz for any corporate or commercial litigation needs, especially in the restructuring space. Her expertise is top-tier, and her commitment to her clients is evident.
