‘We work with an exceptional corporate team at Proskauer. They do a fantastic job of delivery high-quality and highly commercially-focused advice, adding enormous value to every deal. They have strong technical and commercial skills, but are also highly skilled at managing different stakeholder personalities, bringing people together and calming stressful situations.'
‘The team are always willing to go the extra step, talk things through, pivot and quickly think outside the box if we want to approach something in a new way. This ethos permeates from the partners down and I feel comfortable calling anyone in a pinch. That said, our key relationship contact is Richard Bull and we consider him genuinely exceptional in the client care he provides.'
‘Great team that is always attentive and well staffed, and quickly jumps on new transactions and gets up to speed.’
