Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'The colleagues at W&C are incredibly responsive. I have worked with many large law firms, W&C goes the extra mile.'

  • 'Sebastian Pitz is an outstanding partner for us. If we contact him with a topic that he is not responsible for, we get a response within a very short time with a contact person who is then also in the cc and has been briefed. However, if the topic is his, we get immediate, well-founded feedback that not only includes a legal assessment, but also takes the business and risks into account.'
