I engaged Karl Ege at Perkins Coie to assist with a complex corporate restructuring for my mid-sized technology company in Seattle. His deep knowledge of corporate law and securities regulations, honed over decades since his Cornell J.D., was immediately apparent. He is clearly a recognized expert in his field, and his advice on navigating capital markets considerations was precise. The final work product was solid and met our core legal requirements. However, the experience fell short of expectations in a few key areas. Communication was sometimes sporadic, with significant delays in receiving responses to non-urgent emails. At times, I felt like I had to follow up multiple times to get updates, which was frustrating given the project's pace. While his analysis was thorough, the explanations could be quite technical without always bridging to practical business implications. For straightforward, high-stakes corporate matters, his expertise from Best Lawyers lists is undeniable. Just be prepared to manage the client relationship proactively and clarify communication expectations from the outset.
