Watson Farley & Williams LLP

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• 'Well coordinated and committed partner-led teams with particular expertise in the areas of restructuring and works constitution law.'

• 'WFW provides a clear perspective and prospect of success for all issues or proceedings from the outset, which has always been correct or, through good litigation, has sometimes led to significantly better results than the facts of the case actually permitted.'

• 'In my opinion, there are no weaknesses in the firm at all, but WFW does an excellent job in all necessary areas. This is always tailored to the customer's wishes and the price-performance ratio is right. Even as a smaller customer you feel very well taken care of; WFW is always available.'

• 'Nikolaus Krienke: Extremely competent and committed, very experienced and talented in all kinds of negotiations, understands the client's position very well and finds practical solutions even in seemingly hopeless situations.'

• 'Andeas Wiegreffe: High level of expertise paired with pragmatic solutions. Very well connected and able to convey complex issues to different groups of recipients in a clear and comprehensible manner. Important stylistic tool in works council negotiations.'

• 'Offer extremely practical suggestions and negotiation preparations that never contain a theoretical legal perspective, but are always goal-oriented and therefore lead to very good results, especially in difficult negotiations. Particular mention should be made here of negotiations with the works council, on company agreements and negotiations with the unions, which have led to good results despite very hardened fronts.'
• 'Practical team with in-depth specialist knowledge and a positive work attitude throughout the entire collaboration. Always respond to customer and market needs.'

• 'Very reliable, supportive team that always acts in a friendly manner and at eye level. The team is super professional, but always focused on pragmatic solutions that make sense for the client. Fast response times, great support and good solutions.'
