I engaged Preston Barclay at Greenberg Traurig to assist with the acquisition of a small tech startup my company was pursuing. His credentials are impressive, and his recognition in M&A and Venture Capital Law was a primary reason for our selection. The legal work on the transaction itself was thorough; the due diligence was comprehensive and the final agreements were solid. He clearly knows the corporate landscape in New York. However, the experience was somewhat mixed. While Preston is undoubtedly knowledgeable, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to non-urgent emails could take several days, and it was sometimes difficult to get a clear timeline for next steps without persistent follow-up from our side. For a straightforward deal, his competence is adequate, and the firm's resources are a benefit. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, proactive updates and a more hands-on advisory style throughout the process, expectations may need to be managed. He delivered on the core legal requirements, but the client service aspect felt merely transactional.
