Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘K&L Gates assisted us on a regulatory compliance matter in which there was limited scope for innovation. Despite this, K&L Gates were able to share their depth of knowledge based on their own experience with respect to utilising technology that existed within our own organisation. This was invaluable in assisting us to prepare for the actions we needed to undertake. ’

  • ‘Ayman Guirguis is a stand out in this space. Ayman is attentive, highly responsive, knowledgeable, and experienced. Ayman is deeply experienced in liaising with regulators and understands what is required. Ayman's advice is practical, honest, and succinct, all of which are critical when working to strict timeframes. ’
