- 'Proskauer has a very client-oriented approach that treats small, medium, and large deals with the same attention that each client would expect. The client focus rather than transaction focus provides balanced attention to get the deal done in the best possible way, serving the needs of the client.'
- 'Responsiveness is often critical in completing a transaction, responsiveness to both the client and others involved. Jeff Horwitz finds a way to always be available and remarkably responsive to any question or issue that might arise.'
