Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

Virginia Milstead handled a complex securities dispute for my company. Her expertise in litigation and her recognition in that field were evident, and her analysis of the regulatory issues was thorough. However, response times were sometimes slower than expected, and updates weren't always proactive. While the legal outcome was solid, the process felt more transactional. For straightforward, high-stakes securities matters, her 20+ years of experience at Skadden is a definite asset, but client management could be more attentive.
