William Nelson
Kristin P. Kris Hinson of Alston & Bird LLP provided outstanding guidance for our private investment fund. Her 33 years of experience in banking, corporate, and derivatives law was evident in her approach—a seamless blend of deep expertise and personalized attention. The compliance documentation she prepared was impeccable, and her strategic advice on adviser registration was invaluable. While her responsiveness was generally excellent, there were occasional delays due to her high demand, which I understand. Her recognition in key financial law areas is well-earned, and her ability to simplify complex regulatory matters was a game-changer. The fee structure was fair, though I would have appreciated slightly more transparency upfront. Overall, an exceptional attorney who delivers top-tier service.
