- ‘Great value for a reasonable price.'
- ‘I have worked with Emil Holub and Aneta Disman mainly, and the cooperation was excellent even in a jurisdiction which was new for them. They have arranged local support but were able to get familiar with many specifics of the legal system of the other country. Both demonstrated their usual top level professional approach and resolved all issues in an efficient way. The cooperation is based on high level trust and using all modern approaches to a transaction project.’
