‘We worked with Meitar in a very complex, cross-border criminal file regarding alleged corruption and work-related crimes. The team maintained its high-quality professional standard throughout the entire project, even though the amount of work that needed to be carried out was extensive.’
- ‘Meitar understood very quickly the rather significant differences between our judicial systems and did a brilliant work in explaining them to the clients, in very simple terms, so that we could adopt the best possible strategy with the knowledgeable consent of the clients.’
