Experienced and capable, but communication was inconsistent

Karl Block handled a complex business acquisition for our small company. His 40+ years of experience and recognition in corporate law were evident in the thoroughness of the final agreements. However, we often experienced significant delays in receiving responses to emails, which created some anxiety during negotiations. While the legal outcome was solid, the process felt less collaborative than we had hoped. He is clearly a knowledgeable attorney, but managing client expectations could be improved.
