Client Reviews
"He's great! Very satisfied"
"Otis was a key member of a small team at Kirkland & Ellis that handled the majority of our legal work. He was the point person at the associate level and worked tirelessly and without complaint, often juggling up to five or six live transactions involving multiple deal teams. He was professional, reliable, detail oriented and a good communicator. Specifically, he did a great job of interacting with business owners and opposing counsel, maintaining patience and driving things to closure."
"Otis was an outstanding private equity/M&A associate at Ropes and was one of the critical additions we made in building the Chicago office. His experience on the business side, coupled with his strong knowledge of deal terms and case law, is a rare and valuable combination, which enables him to take a practical, commercial approach on transactions. In addition, Otis has an unrivaled knack for business development and relationship building and I expect him to excel in his new position, which should allow him to use both his considerable business and legal skill."
