‘Exceptional restructuring lawyers, very hard working.'
'Undaunting in the pursuit of value for clients Very user friendly.'
‘Fantastic depth of knowledge, capabilities, and personalized attention.’
‘Great people with a personal touch. Tristan Axelrod is a gem!’
‘The Brown Rudnick team includes partners Kenneth Aulet, Tristan Axelrod, Shari Dwoskin, Michael Winograd and associate Matthew Sawyer. I have spent hundreds of hours interacting with the team, reviewing their work product, and observing them in high-stakes litigation. In my opinion, the Brown Rudnick team has proven itself to be exceptional. At all times, the Brown Rudnick team has acted expeditiously, provided very high quality advice, engaged in excellent research on murky and unsettled issues of law, engaged in negotiations with recalcitrant parties, and convinced jurists with cogent legal analyses. As an appellate attorney, I have seen many, many legal analyses by trial attorneys. The analyses presented by the Brown Rudnick team are consistently among the best I have seen.’
‘Kenneth Aulet has the quickest appreciation of the implications of legal arguments and factual developments that I have ever witnessed. As general counsel, he has been able to simplify complex issues in a manner that has been understandable to all of our committee and board members. His legal acumen is second to none.'
'Tristan Axelrod has ensured a very, very high quality of analysis throughout this case. His work product is so good that I would sign my name to his memos and pleadings. As general counsel, his insights are concise and always welcome. Shari Dwoskin is an outstanding legal analyst and writer. My appellate love of finely crafted writing is delighted by her work. Matthew Sawyer has demonstrated outstanding work. I might add that he presented an insight that was totally remarkable even when comparing it to analyses I’ve encountered over the course of my entire career.'
'Michael Winograd is a relatively new addition to our team and thus I have had less time to observe his work. I will say, however, that his participation has demonstrated that he is a key member of our team -- able to deliver arguments to opposing parties that they can hear without shutting down (a rare skill) and to guide a mediator in a natural way that is highly effective. ’
