Lyle A. Wallace

A competent corporate attorney, but communication could improve

I engaged Lyle Wallace at Taft in Denver to assist with the sale of my small manufacturing business, a process that involved complex asset transfers and some M&A considerations. With his 24 years of experience and recognition in Corporate and Mergers & Acquisitions Law, I felt confident in his technical expertise, which was solid. The final documents were thorough, and he navigated the key negotiation points effectively. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While his legal knowledge is undoubtedly deep, reflected in his Best Lawyers recognition, I often found communication to be lacking. Responses to emails were sometimes delayed by several business days, and explanations, when they came, could be quite technical without much translation for a non-lawyer. For straightforward matters, this might be fine, but during a stressful transaction, the wait times and occasional lack of proactive updates added unnecessary anxiety. He is a capable attorney who gets the job done correctly, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate. If you need a seasoned hand for a corporate matter in Denver and are prepared to be patient, he is a reasonable choice.
