Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2023
Christopher Richardson
I engaged Gil Ghatan at Ropes & Gray for guidance on a complex capital gains issue related to the sale of a family business. His tax law expertise, as noted in his Best Lawyers recognition, was evident in his analysis. He clearly understood the nuances of the DC and federal tax implications. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal work was technically sound, I often experienced significant delays in receiving responses to my emails, sometimes waiting a week or more for non-urgent clarifications. For a matter that was time-sensitive for me, this created unnecessary anxiety. His two years of recognized practice since 2023 showed in his focused knowledge, but the overall client service felt more transactional than collaborative. He resolved the core tax question correctly, but managing expectations and maintaining a consistent line of communication were areas that fell short of what I anticipated from a firm of this caliber. He is undoubtedly knowledgeable, but the service aspect needs refinement.
