Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'Ability to scientifically penetrate legal questions that have not yet been dealt with in jurisprudence/commentaries or have not been dealt with conclusively or completely. Thinking out of the box in the high-end legal sector.'
  • 'Peter Burckhardt: Very structured way of working. Very reliable and stringent lines of argument in the process and good representation in meetings. I particularly appreciate our legal “sparring sessions” with an open and creative exchange of opinions on equal terms, which have led/lead to real mutual gains in knowledge and ultimately to resilient and successful strategies in proceedings.'
