Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'The depth of A&O's expertise and experience speaks for itself. But the differentiator is at partner-level where there is such a consistently high level of delivery and innovation, particularly in novel transactions with a cross-border dimension.'
  • 'Meredith Campion has incredible instincts for the human dimension of regulators, clients and counterparties on complex transactions and how it affects successful delivery. Michael Parshall is the rare true "brainiac" lawyer who also has the energy and commitment to spearhead M&A deals of the highest intensity. Aaron Kenavan brings a highly incisive approach that can add a very large amount of value in a short amount of time to keep deals moving in right direction.'
