Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Proactive and available.’
‘Collaborative and involved.’
‘We involved the employment practice group in several projects. What I would like to emphasise is the business partner approach and the fast response time. Somebody from the employment team was always available and they provided legal advice within a short deadline.'
'Their answer was practical, business oriented and they went "the extra mile": based on our request and the results of the research they gave us practical suggestions and hints for the next steps related to other fields of practice which might be relevant. In a nutshell, they gave us a great and complete legal advice in order to make our project succeed.'
'Their legal advice was straight to the point and easy to digest and understand. I also find it extremely useful that Deloitte sends very good quality newsletters and organises good professional events. Péter Göndöcz is always available quickly and has a great focus on clients.’
‘I have worked mainly with Brigitta Gál. She has wide experience with many different topics from employment law. What made the difference for me, compared with other legal professionals, was that she had immediately some prompt, good and valid legal remarks and viewpoints, which helped me further in managing the project immediately.'
