Expert guidance for our company's restructuring

Payal Patel at Kilpatrick Townsend provided invaluable counsel during our company's complex restructuring and partnership reorganization. Her deep knowledge of business organizations and corporate governance was immediately apparent. We specifically sought her out because of her recognition in Business Organizations and Corporate Governance law, and she lived up to that reputation. She navigated intricate LLC agreements and compliance issues with a clear, strategic approach that gave our board immense confidence. Her advice was always practical and grounded in her seven years of experience. While her response time could occasionally be a day or two during peak periods, her thoroughness more than compensated. I would confidently recommend Payal to any Chicago-area business facing similar corporate or financial legal challenges.
