Kelly Waters at Nelson Mullins provided solid legal support for our small business acquisition in Miami. Her background in M&A and corporate law from Florida State University was evident in the thorough due diligence and contract structuring. The work product was technically sound and she is clearly knowledgeable, as her professional recognitions suggest. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. Communication sometimes had delays, with responses taking a day or two, and we occasionally had to follow up for updates. For a complex deal, her expertise would be valuable, but for our more routine matter, the service level met expectations without exceeding them. She is a capable attorney who handled the real estate aspects of the deal efficiently.
