Competent energy law guidance, but communication could improve

I engaged Eric Macaux at Greenberg Traurig for counsel on a complex regulatory compliance matter related to a small-scale renewable energy project. His 18 years of experience and recognition in Energy Law were immediately apparent; his analysis of the state and federal regulatory landscape was thorough and precise. He clearly knows this area inside and out, and his Georgetown Law background lends significant credibility. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal work product was solid, there were noticeable delays in receiving responses to emails, sometimes stretching to several business days, which created anxiety during time-sensitive phases. The billing structure, while standard for a firm of this caliber, felt rigid for the scope of our intermittent needs. Eric is undoubtedly a knowledgeable attorney, as his Best Lawyers recognition suggests, and he successfully navigated the core legal issue. For straightforward, high-stakes matters, his expertise is valuable. For clients who prioritize frequent updates and a more flexible approach, expectations may need to be managed from the outset.
