Emma O'Connell at Holland & Knight provided solid legal guidance for our mid-sized company's recent asset acquisition. Her background in M&A and corporate law, including the recognition from Best Lawyers, was evident in her thorough review of the transaction documents. The work product was technically sound and protected our interests. However, we sometimes experienced delays in receiving responses to our emails, which created minor bottlenecks during negotiations. While her expertise is not in question, the overall client experience felt somewhat transactional. For straightforward corporate matters, she is a capable attorney, but you may need to proactively manage communication expectations.
