Gaurav:
What has stood out to us about this team is their consistency - not just in legal competence but in how they show up for us. The team at Solomon & Co. has built trust through clear communication, reliable timelines and thoughtful guidance that always felt correct as per our needs. Their ability to simplify difficult legal issues without dumbing them down is a skill we have rarely seen elsewhere. One thing I particularly appreciate is that the team does not just react, they anticipate. That, combined with their responsiveness and commercial awareness - makes them easy to work with. We have also noticed their flexibility on billing models and general openness to find what works best for us. The partners we have worked with, especially Mr. Aaron, really stand out for their legal acumen and clarity of advice. They do not hedge or stay vague - they give an opinion and that makes decision making on our end much easier. The associates (especially, Mr. Pranav) we have worked with are sharp and professional, but also approachable - which really matters when you are engaging on an ongoing basis. It is also evident that the firm invests in developing its team because even junior lawyers we have interacted with are well informed and dependable.
