A solid attorney with deep experience, but communication could improve

I engaged Robert Bieck of Jones Walker for guidance on a complex securities compliance matter following an SEC inquiry. His credentials are undeniably impressive, with over five decades of practice and his recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Litigation - Banking and Finance clearly speaks to his standing in the New Orleans legal community. When we finally connected, his analysis of the regulatory landscape and corporate governance implications was thorough and grounded in practical experience. However, the process of getting to that point was more frustrating than expected. Responses to emails were often delayed by several business days, and updates on the matter's progress were infrequent unless I initiated contact. While the final work product was competent and he successfully navigated the regulatory concerns, managing expectations around timelines and communication would have significantly improved the client experience. For straightforward matters requiring his specific expertise in securities enforcement defense, he is a capable choice, but be prepared to be proactive in following up.
