‘It is a strength that SIRIUS has a great insight into new trends and new technologies and the law that regulates this. It is also a strength that the team has a very high degree of understanding of how law can be implemented in practice in the company.’
‘It is a strength that Kira Kolby Christensen knows about the organisation's tasks, conditions and challenges and quickly can find constructive solutions to them. It is also a strength that Christensen is a good mediator, even for customers who do not have a legal background.’
‘The practice is good at putting the issues in the context of the business as a whole and understanding wider implications of legal decision-making in the area of data protection. It was clear that the partners had good communication with each other, which supported this element. Availability is always good, and partners took calls during busy and/or holiday periods and accommodated our tight timeframes.’
‘Kira Kolby Christensen is highly competent, and the marriage of her practice competencies provides for holistic and nuanced advice within highly specialised areas. She is well-connected in the industry, which is particularly important within tech and data protection, practice areas that are always on the move. She also lectures in her speciality areas, so she is great at communicating complex concepts and is up to date with new developments. On a personal level, she is affable and easy-natured and was the right choice for our company.’
