John Hobgood at Alston & Bird handled the financing for our company's recent acquisition. His technical knowledge in banking and M&A law is evident, and his background from UVA and recognition by Best Lawyers gave us confidence in his expertise. The deal documents were thorough and he navigated the lender's requirements capably. However, our experience was mixed. While the final work product was solid, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to emails sometimes took a full business day or more, and we didn't always feel proactively updated on minor hurdles. For a straightforward transaction, his competence is clear, but the level of client service and accessibility didn't fully match the firm's premium reputation. He got the job done correctly, but the process felt more transactional than collaborative at times.
