Albert Moro
Clifford ChanceMelding ‘high technical skills’ with ’deep insight and a strong commercial approach’, Clifford Chance provides ‘skilled and pragmatic advice’ to banks, funds, accountancy firms and corporates across a wide spectrum of commercial litigation. Much of the work involves cross-border issues, which the team is particularly well-suited to advise on by virtue of its ability to leverage the expertise of other litigators spread across the firm’s vast international network. Combining ’an academic knowledge of the Luxembourg law and legal system’ with an intuitive understanding of the ‘needs of a 21st century in-house legal counsel’, team head Albert Moro is a very popular choice among clients to help resolve complex and often sensitive disputes, including those in the aftermath of an M&A process, as well as often those involving shareholders. Demonstrating ’a calm strength’, including in pleadings before the court, ‘very impressive’ young partner Ada Schmitt is also increasingly vital to the success of the team and is marked out by her versatility, which includes domestic and cross-border litigation/arbitration cases, as well as regulatory investigations.
