'I find their advice is practical, and I like that I can work through the same firm to get advice across the continent. I have received very good service from each office.'
'Dániel Ódor is one of the most responsive outside counsel with whom I have ever had the privilege to work. He is able to quickly track down counsel within (and outside) his firm that can answer my questions, if he himself is unable to do so. He has provided very good counsel with respect to privacy regulation in Europe for us. A godsend.'
