Competent but Could Improve Communication

I worked with Leila Naghibi on a complex family business succession plan, and her expertise in Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law was evident. She clearly understands the intricacies of intergenerational wealth transfer and corporate restructuring. However, I found her communication style a bit rigid—emails took longer than expected to respond to, and follow-up calls weren't always as proactive as I'd hoped. While the final documents were well-crafted, the process felt slower than necessary. Skadden's reputation for excellence aligns with her work, but I wish the client experience had matched the firm's high standards more consistently. Overall, competent but could refine responsiveness.
