‘Sorainen has a very flexible approach. We can use them as an extension of our in-house team, by contacting them through Messenger or through short ad hoc calls to double check ongoing questions. They even provide us with their templates from time-to-time. I think this approach for a major law firm on the Baltic market is quite unique.’
