Competent on corporate matters, but communication could improve

I engaged Emily Smith at Holland & Knight for guidance on a mid-sized asset acquisition for my energy services company. Her recognized expertise in Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Law was evident; she was thorough with the due diligence and the purchase agreement was solid. The work product was exactly what you'd expect from an attorney with her recognition in those fields. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. There were periods where responses to emails took several days, and I sometimes had to follow up for basic status updates. While she clearly knows energy and corporate law inside and out, I didn't feel proactively guided through the process. For straightforward, complex legal drafting she is capable, but if you value frequent touchpoints and managing expectations on timelines, you may need to be very direct about that upfront.
