Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Their breadth of knowledge is second-to-none which allows for a one-stop shop, making them invaluable and incredibly efficient from a business perspective. They are also not afraid of giving direct and practical strategic advice over and above legal advice.’

  • ‘Cristiana Spontoni is a standout. She has excellent knowledge of multiple countries and topics and has a network of excellent contacts if there's anything she doesn't know, which is rare. Christina and the team are always available and engaged at both a legal and strategic level. They are a business partner rather than an external legal adviser. ’
