Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘There is a broad telecom knowledge in the team and they are particularly good at seeing the business perspective for us as clients rather than just being very focused on legal details.’
‘They are good at pulling in the right resources when needed. We have primarily worked with Julie Bak-Larsen, who has a fantastic ability to see the coherence of the agreements where we have used the company. She is really good at advising us on where in the contracts there is no room for negotiation and where we have the opportunity to meet the other party's wishes. She knows how to maintain a really constructive and friendly tone through even difficult negotiations and this has meant for us that we have almost always reached the goal with an agreement that all parties have been extremely satisfied with.’
