‘SPB in France is a multidisciplinary firm with a united and coherent team, and equipped with sufficient resources to act as a partner on complex and time-consuming matters. The quality of the lawyers that make up the team surrounding Valérie Ravit allows us to entrust her with cases in France and internationally in a wide variety of civil liability claims.'
'The complementary qualities of the other departments of this firm (such as real estate and insolvency) and its international network (which has a significant presence in Europe, the US and Asia) are also significant assets when choosing this firm.’
‘Valérie Ravit is an outstanding lawyer who, surrounded by a competent and responsive team, knows how to demonstrate exceptional responsiveness and adaptability, particularly for the management of mass litigation and the coordination of actions in a multinational context. She advises us and helps us implement alternative and innovative solutions by taking into account the various interests and concerns involved in complex cases.'
'Valérie Ravit is recognized in the insurance market and is therefore also a valuable advisor on pure insurance issues, such as assistance in drafting insurance policy clauses or the organization of seminars intended for insurance professionals and customers of our company.’
‘The team is available, fast and efficient, which is what you expect from a law firm without always getting it. They were able to adapt to our internal procedures and constraints (in terms of cyber security, billing process, service level agreements, etc.), where this may have caused problems for other firms.’
‘Valérie Ravit is simply exceptional. She is capable of grasping and analysing a complex file in no time and coming back to us with advice and suggestions for a suitable strategy in record time. She is a specialist in civil liability and the environment and has a perfect knowledge of the insurance market and its practices. When we entrust a file to Valérie, we know that it is in good hands, and that is an incredible comfort for us.’
