Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘An excellent team, very professional and 100% responsible. One weakness is the cost of the on-site visit. In my case, we're an engineering services company, so clients find the cost of the visit high. Therefore, we generally see it as another way to keep our proposal affordable for the client.’
