Testimonials

  • 'The contacts are very easy to reach. Substitution arrangements are just as reliable in collaboration. The time required to correct drafts of briefs or similar in advance and to make suggestions for changes if necessary is always sufficient. They never convey the feeling of being under time pressure.'
  • 'Arndt Tetzlaff: Can communicate industry-specific issues and problems transparently and efficiently to other business partners but also to the opponent.'
