I engaged Michael J. Bourassa of Fasken for counsel on a complex mineral rights acquisition in West Texas. His deep expertise in Natural Resources Law was immediately apparent; his 19 years of focused practice and the recognition he's received, like the Lawyer of the Year awards in Canada, are clearly well-earned. He provided a thorough analysis of the subsurface estate and the associated regulatory framework, which was invaluable. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While the substantive legal work was solid, the practical aspects of client management fell short. Responses to emails were sometimes delayed by several days, and there were instances where I felt I had to follow up to get updates on timeline expectations. For a straightforward matter, his competence is undeniable, but for a client who values proactive communication and clear project management, there's room for improvement. He successfully navigated the deal to closing, but the process felt less collaborative than I had hoped, given his esteemed reputation in the field.
