Adequate counsel for a regulatory compliance review

I engaged Mr. Azel at Winston & Strawn to assist my small FinTech startup with a regulatory compliance review for a new payment product. His deep knowledge of financial services regulation law, built over 27 years, was immediately apparent. He efficiently identified several key risk areas in our framework, and his background with major financial institutions lent his advice considerable weight. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. While his analysis was technically sound, communication was inconsistent—responses sometimes took several days, and explanations could be overly technical without practical translation for our smaller operation. For straightforward regulatory guidance, he is competent, but for clients seeking a more collaborative or responsive partnership, expectations should be managed.
