Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • For corporate law, Mark Gentile is the man to see. He is encyclopedic on Delaware corporations law, has great boardroom presence, and can be very creative.
  • RLF is, in my view, by far the best for alternative entity (LP / LLC) fund advice in Delaware. Elisa Maas and Melissa Stubenberg have been my thought partners through many complex deals, and I believe our joint clients truly benefit from their counsel.
  • Super responsive, on the cutting edge of knowledge on Delaware law, and tremendous thought partners.
