Solid but Overlooks Key Details

Mr. Jones handled a regulatory compliance case for our energy firm, and while his expertise in federal energy law was evident, the communication could have been more proactive. There were delays in responses to urgent queries, which added unnecessary stress to an already tight timeline. His knowledge of utility regulations was a strong point, but the lack of follow-through on some administrative tasks made the process longer than anticipated. A more structured approach to client updates would have improved the experience. Overall, competent but room for improvement in client management.
