Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'Very strong in terms of content across all areas, as is to be expected from a law firm of this caliber. Highlights include: (1) excellent collaboration between lawyers across specialist areas (M&A, antitrust law, tax, financing), which makes interaction very smooth for clients. (2) broad coverage of competencies, now further strengthened by the merger between A&O and Sherman, and the ability to put together teams of significant size with strong competencies in a short space of time in order to be able to implement transactions with maximum professionalism, even with an ambitious timeline.'
