Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘One of the benefits of working with this team is the extensive network of attorneys they have in their company. When needed, the attorneys were able to reach out to others in their organization for assistance and/or to recommend contacts who can assist us in other areas.’
‘Kai Kim (né Schlender) is the attorney I have primarily worked with. Kai is pleasant and easy to work with and has consistently provided prompt assistance and responses to my requests. He is able to give clear answers to my questions and has been very helpful in educating me about the differences between Chinese, US and German law. Kai has also been willing and able to work with me to construct language to meet my specific requirements when working on contracts and terms and conditions. Additionally, he has been proactive in pointing out possible issues and changes in Chinese laws that could affect our company.’
