Adequate representation for a complex business restructuring

My company engaged Zachary Smith at Moore & Van Allen to navigate a challenging operational restructuring and creditor negotiations. There is no question about his deep technical knowledge; his 22 years of experience, particularly in bankruptcy and creditor rights, were evident. He is clearly a seasoned practitioner, and his firm's reputation in Charlotte is well-deserved. The strategy he developed was sound and ultimately helped us stabilize. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. While Zach was responsive during scheduled calls, there were periods where follow-up on non-critical items took longer than expected, and communication sometimes defaulted to junior associates without clear handoffs. For a matter as sensitive as this, I had hoped for a more consistently direct line. His recognition in the field is understandable given his expertise in insolvency law, but the client service aspect felt more like a well-oiled machine than a tailored partnership. He competently achieved the primary legal objective, which is why I'm providing a satisfactory rating, but the overall experience didn't fully meet our expectations for proactive communication and accessibility given the stakes.
