Laura Bernescu provided excellent representation for my company in a breach of contract and unfair competition matter. Her background at a top firm like Skadden and her recognition in commercial litigation were evident from our first strategy session. She has a sharp, analytical mind honed at the University of Chicago and demonstrated a deep understanding of the procedural nuances in Illinois courts. Laura crafted a compelling argument that ultimately led to a very favorable settlement. Her expertise in dissecting complex financial records was particularly impressive. The only slight drawback was that during the busiest phases, communication could sometimes take a full business day, which was a bit stressful. However, her thorough and strategic work more than compensated. I would confidently recommend her for sophisticated commercial litigation.
