I worked with Carla Matthews at Caesars Entertainment. As a corporate paralegal, Carla was a critical member of the corporate legal team that helped lead the company out of bankruptcy in 2017. Her organizational skills helped us keep hundreds of pages of documents in order, accurate and delivered timely. Carla has a range of skills. She assisted me with due diligence related to the company's transactions and public disclosures. She assisted with board and committee meeting preparations and minutes. She also managed the company's corporate subsidiaries, including dissolving international subsidiaries. Carla is very hardworking, pays attention to detail and dives in to help wherever and however she can. She gives 100% and was a pleasure to work with.
