Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘We have used Clifford Chance in Australia and internationally. The strength that I see in using Clifford Chance is that their antitrust team operates globally and seamlessly, which means we benefit from the international experience of solicitors who have oversight of regulatory actions in our markets in overseas jurisdictions, as well as local expertise. This capability cannot be under emphasised, and cannot be delivered by law firms that only operate in Australia.

  • ‘We always value collaborative, responsive and skilled personnel. Clifford Chance's culture is particularly collaborative - both with each other and with their clients. They operate collectively and as part of our team. This makes them stand out. A special mention goes to Angel Fu, a Senior Associate in the Sydney office was highly responsive and easy to work with.’
