I engaged Susan Nash at Winston & Strawn to assist my company with a complex compliance issue related to the ACA's employer mandate. Her deep expertise in health care reform and her national recognition in employee benefits law were immediately apparent. She provided a thorough analysis of our obligations and crafted a solid strategy. However, for a matter that was time-sensitive for us, there were periods where communication lagged, and responses to follow-up emails sometimes took longer than expected. While the legal work itself was competent and her 34 years of experience showed, the overall client service experience felt somewhat transactional. She is undoubtedly an expert in her field, particularly for ERISA and health plan issues, but managing client expectations on process could be improved.
