Solid but Improving

I worked with John B. Phair on a complex asset transfer during a merger transaction, and his knowledge of leveraged buyouts and private equity law was evident. He clearly understood the nuances of our deal and provided sound advice. However, while his legal expertise was solid, I found his communication style somewhat repetitive, and responses to my follow-up questions were often slower than expected. The process took longer than anticipated, partly due to delays in documentation reviews. That said, I appreciate his attention to detail, particularly in ensuring compliance with corporate regulations. His recognition in mergers and acquisitions law speaks to his capability, though I hope he continues to refine his client communication and timeliness. Overall, a competent lawyer, but there’s room for improvement in responsiveness and managing client expectations.
