Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘As with any people business, it's the people that make the business - and that's most definitely the case at Procope & Hornborg. Warm, engaged, energetic, informed, driven, solution focused are all words which could describe our experience with the firm, but none of that is at the cost of a strong, supportive culture, which is very important. It is always a pleasure to work with the Procope team, knowing that we are in safe hands.’

Due to her extensive general counsel background, Pia has in-depth knowledge in steel, energy and consumer goods business, and knows what a general counsel expects. Pia is business-minded and solution-oriented, and she drives M&A and other projects efficiently, comprehensively and successfully.’
