We engaged Matthew Wood at Kirkland & Ellis for legal counsel during a complex acquisition of a smaller competitor. His background in corporate law, including his recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. Matthew provided clear, strategic advice on the deal structure and due diligence process, demonstrating a sharp understanding of New York corporate regulations. His analysis of the merger agreement was particularly thorough, helping us navigate several key negotiation points successfully. While his billing rates reflect the firm's premium standing, and there were occasional delays in receiving draft revisions during the final hectic week, the overall outcome was excellent. Matthew's expertise from Cardozo Law and his focused practice gave us great confidence throughout the transaction.
