Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Available at any time at short notice and they never missed any timeline. They also guided us patiently through every step of the process.'
- 'WALLESS' team is distinguished due to their very clearly visible client-centric approach, coupled with their capability to fully and quickly service any employment and migration matter that may arise in the course of business. We are very content with WALLESS' ability to both fully take on any independent project as well as their ability to quickly and effectively jump into already well-progressed matters that require additional outside assistance. We especially value WALLESS' lean working process that allows us to have direct and continuous contact with WALLESS' most experienced and senior team members.'
- 'Alina Makovska stands out due to her immaculate responsiveness in case of matters that require immediate attention, which is a common occurrence in the field of employment matters. We can always count on Alina to receive a fast and qualitative response or consultation.'
