Our company recently engaged Gordon Russell to guide us through the acquisition of a smaller competitor, a transaction involving significant real estate holdings and complex corporate financing. With over five decades of experience, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He seamlessly navigated the intersection of corporate law, real estate due diligence, and banking regulations, which was exactly the multi-disciplinary expertise we needed. His recognition in those specific fields is well-deserved. Gordon’s strategic thinking was invaluable; he anticipated issues we hadn’t considered and provided clear, practical counsel that kept the deal on track. His calm, seasoned presence instilled confidence in our entire leadership team. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in email response times, which we understand given his senior role and likely heavy caseload. However, when we did connect, his attention was complete. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend Mr. Russell for sophisticated business and transactional matters.
