I engaged Rachael Thompson at Winston & Strawn to handle a complex commercial dispute involving a breach of contract in a joint venture agreement within the energy sector. Her background, particularly her recognition in Commercial Litigation and Oil and Gas Law by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. Rachael demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricate technical and contractual nuances, which was critical given the project's scope. Her strategic approach was meticulous; she didn't just react to the other side's motions but anticipated them, crafting a compelling narrative that positioned us favorably from the start. Her ability to distill complex patent-related technical arguments (a nod to her Litigation - Patent recognition) into clear, persuasive language for the court was impressive. While Rachael's expertise is unquestionably top-tier, there were occasional delays in receiving responses to non-urgent emails, which sometimes required a follow-up. This is a minor point in an otherwise outstanding representation. Her work ethic and deep knowledge of Texas law, honed at the University of Houston Law Center, were instrumental in achieving a highly favorable settlement. I would confidently recommend her for any serious commercial litigation matter.
