Vincent Cérat Lagana

Competent on corporate governance, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Vincent Cérat Lagana at Fasken for guidance on a shareholder dispute that was escalating within my small business. His recognized expertise in Corporate and Commercial Litigation was evident during our initial consultation; he clearly understood the governance issues at play and provided a solid, strategic outline. His background in this specific area gave me confidence. However, the experience was mixed. While the legal work on the filings was thorough, there were noticeable delays in receiving updates. I often had to follow up multiple times, which added to my stress during an already tense situation. For a matter involving recognized class action and administrative law nuances, I expected more proactive communication. He is undoubtedly knowledgeable and secured an acceptable resolution, but the process felt more reactive than collaborative. For straightforward corporate governance advice, he is capable, but for clients who need consistent hand-holding, expectations should be set clearly from the outset.
