Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Harvesting has extensive experience in handling trademark infringement and unfair competition cases and is able to notice subtle signs at an early stage and develop response plans in a timely manner. For example, in trademark infringement cases, Harvesting considers the risks of later compensation execution when designing litigation plans in the early stages, and develops forward-looking plans in advance.’

  • ‘Yafei Luo and Amy He were very professional and experienced. They fully considered the interests of our company, paid attention to many subtle things, and controlled risks throughout the process. We felt very relieved to hand over the case to the two lawyers.'
