Client Reviews
"I’ve known Ben for approximately 10 years while we both worked as in-house counsel at divisions of United Technologies Corporation (UTC). All of my experiences working with Ben have been extremely positive. As a peer, Ben is extremely collaborative and generous with his time - even when he is in the midst of juggling many competing obligations. When Ben reported to me, I had the opportunity to observe Ben’s attention to client needs and practical approach to the law. Ben does a tremendous job balancing in-depth analytical lawyering with practical, client-focused solutions. Ben is very responsive to client needs and ensures that key stakeholders are aware of important changes / milestones. Ben has an upbeat and easy communication style that encourages clients to engage with him. Ben’s communication style and tremendous skills as a lawyer leads him to be highly sought-after by clients and his fellow lawyers, alike. I know many of the business clients who Ben has supported at UTC and the feedback that they have provided is consistently very positive. Clients consider Ben a key business partner, not simply their lawyer. I would not hesitate to refer clients to Ben."
