Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Strengths/assets: Expertise in public and administrative law. Quality of delivery. Quality of customer relations is a real plus compared to other firms (simplicity of following up on cases, availability, information provided, optimization of service costs, etc.). Ability to offer innovative solutions in terms of legal solutions offered. Respect for junior employees, who are valued, and lawyers with diverse profiles.’
‘Agnès Macaire and Thomas Vaseux have very good knowledge of public contracts and public-private partnerships, great availability and informative advice, and provide essential support on litigation. A complementary team. The presence of these lawyers is a determining factor in our choice to retain the firm for its legal advice services.’
‘This is a team that always responds to our requests and has assisted us with difficult issues. We appreciate being able to count on their expertise, regardless of the time difference.’
‘We work mainly with Frédéric Destal, and we particularly appreciate his expertise in very complex sectors such as digital and aviation. He has a perfect command of public contract procedures such as the delegation of public services and public-private partnerships, as well as all other complex public procurement procedures, such as competitive dialogues and design-builds.’
