  • 'One of the smartest teams on the market and at the same time one of the nicest to work with. For me the "hidden champion" when it comes to really difficult arbitrations.'
  • 'Really precise, reliable and consistent advice. Alena McCorkle is always available and a very strong player. Alena McCorkle led a difficult arbitration under DIS in Germany firmly and consistently. She also did an excellent job of coordinating with the rest of the Latham team worldwide and other firms - it was an advantage to have a global team.'
