Sophie Pressense

Competent on construction contract, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Sophie Pressense of Cornet Vincent Ségurel to review a complex subcontractor agreement for a commercial build-out in Phoenix. Her background in Construction Law, including the recognition from Best Lawyers, was evident in her thorough analysis of the liability clauses and payment terms. She identified several potential risks I had overlooked. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal work itself was solid, there were noticeable delays in receiving drafts, sometimes taking a week for a simple email follow-up. Getting clarity on billing specifics also required more prompting than I expected. For straightforward legal review, she is clearly knowledgeable, especially given her four years focused in this area. For clients who prioritize constant updates and rapid turnaround, setting very clear expectations upfront would be advisable. She resolved my immediate issue competently, but the process felt less streamlined than I had hoped.
