Michael Rodriguez
Emily Lawrence handled my corporate compliance case with a solid understanding of administrative and public law, which was evident in her thorough preparation. Her experience in corporate and commercial litigation was clear, especially when navigating the complex regulations we faced. However, while her legal knowledge is impressive—backed by awards like Lawyer of the Year in Administrative and Public Law—I found the communication during the process to be a bit inconsistent. Responses were often delayed, and follow-ups required multiple reminders. Additionally, the billing structure wasn’t always transparent, leading to some unexpected costs. While I appreciate her expertise in health care law and employee benefits, which were crucial in resolving disputes with the regulatory board, the overall experience could have been smoother. For someone with her recognition from Best Lawyers, I expected more proactive updates. That said, the final outcome was favorable, and her knowledge of corporate compliance was a key factor in resolving the case. If communication improves, she could be an excellent choice for similar matters.
Robert Brown
Emily Lawrence demonstrates strong expertise in administrative and public law, as well as corporate and commercial litigation. Her knowledge was evident in handling my employment benefits dispute, where her experience in health care law proved particularly valuable. However, communication delays occasionally caused frustration, and the time between updates was longer than expected for such a complex case. While her legal insights were top-notch—especially given her recognition as a Lawyer of the Year—better responsiveness would have elevated the overall experience. A solid choice for corporate law matters, but clients should anticipate slower follow-ups.
