Lawrence P. Rochefort, the esteemed chair of Akerman's Litigation Practice Group, demonstrated competence in navigating a complex commercial dispute I encountered. His 37 years of experience and leadership of a top-tier litigation team were evident in his strategic approach. However, I felt there could have been more consistent communication throughout the case, especially during key decision-making stages. Wait times for updates and responses were, at times, longer than I would have preferred. Despite these minor drawbacks, I believe his expertise, as evidenced by awards like 'Lawyer of the Year: Bet-the-Company Litigation' for West Palm Beach in 2023, speaks volumes about his capabilities in high-stakes legal matters.
