I recently engaged Tara Shankar for a complex corporate restructuring matter, and I was impressed by her depth of knowledge in the field. As a recognized attorney by Best Lawyers in Corporate Law, Tara’s expertise was evident from our first consultation. She quickly understood the nuances of our situation and provided clear, actionable advice tailored to our business needs. Her ability to break down intricate legal concepts into understandable terms was invaluable. Tara’s background from The George Washington University and her experience at Pillsbury gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. While her legal acumen is top-notch, I would have appreciated slightly faster response times during the busier phases of the case. Overall, Tara’s professionalism, strategic thinking, and dedication to achieving the best outcome made this a positive experience. I would highly recommend her for any corporate law matters.

Tara Shankar handled a corporate restructuring case for our family business, and while she demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal nuances, her communication could have been more timely. She was thorough in reviewing our contracts and clearly knowledgeable in corporate law, which was reassuring given her recognition by Best Lawyers. However, follow-up responses were sometimes delayed, and we had to nudge her a few times to stay on track. The outcome was favorable, but the process could have been smoother. For straightforward corporate matters, she’s competent, but clients expecting constant engagement may want to discuss communication expectations upfront.

Tara Shankar handled my corporate restructuring case with a competent approach, leveraging her recognition by Best Lawyers in Corporate Law. As a young lawyer, she demonstrated strong foundational knowledge from George Washington University and her background at Pillsbury. While her legal strategy was sound, communication could be sporadic, leading to occasional delays in updates. The documentation was thorough, but I occasionally had to follow up to clarify next steps. Her billing was transparent, though I wish the turnaround time on initial consultations had been faster. For straightforward corporate matters, she’s a capable choice, though more established firms might offer a more polished client experience. Recognized in her field, Tara’s potential is clear, but there’s room for growth in responsiveness and proactive updates. I’d recommend her for those seeking a qualified but budget-friendly corporate attorney.

Tara Shankar provided excellent guidance during a complex business restructuring. Her corporate law expertise, highlighted by her recognition among Best Lawyers, was invaluable. She thoroughly understood our needs and delivered sound legal advice. The only minor drawback was her response time on follow-up questions, which was slightly slower than expected.

Angela Stewart
I worked with Tara Shankar on a corporate restructuring matter, and while her expertise in corporate law was evident—especially given her recognition by Best Lawyers—there were moments where communication felt slow. The legal strategy was sound, particularly her knowledge of DC regulations, which proved invaluable. However, follow-ups sometimes took longer than expected, and I would have appreciated more frequent updates. Tara’s attention to detail and thoroughness were clear, but I often had to reach out to get clarity on next steps. For someone early in their career, she shows great potential, but managing client expectations on responsiveness could improve. Overall, a competent attorney, just not the most proactive.
