Melissa Cooper
Jesse D. Lyon, of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in Portland, Oregon, provided competent legal services during a recent merger of my family-owned food and beverage company. His expertise in closely held companies and family businesses law proved beneficial in navigating the complexities of the deal. However, I felt that communication could have been more frequent, with slightly shorter wait times for responses during the critical stages of the merger. While he was recognized by Best Lawyers for his work, I believe that with slightly improved responsiveness and anticipation of my expectations, Jesse would have made an exceptional partner in this transaction. Overall, I am satisfied with the results, but I hope for a smoother process in our future collaborations.
