Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Reliance is a boutique firm specialised in employment law. What I really like about the firm is that they have a multilingual team, which is very handy when our company is confronted with litigation cases in other languages, and that they are part of a broad international network of employment law firms, which we have often used when we were confronted with employment cases in other countries where we operate.’
‘Yne Machiels is a very accessible expert in employment law. She always provides practical solutions with which we can work with.’
