Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The Gowling WLG sanctions team has sufficient expertise to cover any EU and UK sanctions questions and also from my perspective as a US client they do a particularly good job of flagging and explaining unique EU and UK sanctions concepts that are not readily apparent to US sanctions practitioners. The Gowling WLG team also cooperates very well with counsel from other jurisdictions on cross-border matters that require subject matter experts from multiple jurisdictions.'
- 'Bernardine Adkins is very pleasant to work with and she is especially effective at distilling complicated concepts into practical verbal advice.'
- 'James Stunt prepares direct and concise work product and also does a very good job of meeting promised delivery timelines.'
