Sarah Wicks provided solid counsel on a complex FDA labeling issue for our new biologic. Her background in life sciences and regulatory law was evident, and she clearly understood the technical nuances. The work product was thorough. However, response times were sometimes slower than expected, and explanations could be overly technical without clear translation to business impact. For straightforward regulatory compliance, she is capable, but the process felt less collaborative than I had hoped. Her recognition in the field is well-deserved for her substantive knowledge.
