'WilmerHale is a firm I seek out for particularly tricky and novel legal issues or disputes, in particular those with an EU law dimension. They have very experienced partners with decades of EU law litigation and a unique capability of developing positions and arguments from first principles with great knowledge, creativity and acumen in situations where there is little guidance or case law to go by.'
'Two stand-out practitioners I'd like to mention in particular are Hans-Georg Kamann and Frédéric Louis, who are both exceptionally experienced EU litigators and fierce fighters for their clients, who approach every case with great acumen and an unmatched capability of thinking creatively outside-the-box to devise arguments and strategies in particularly challenging or unprecedented situations.'
