Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I understand that the IP and IT practice does not limit itself to purely IP and IT questions. They seem to support other teams with regulatory, civil law and perhaps other questions as well.’
‘I had a very positive experience working with Charles-Henri Laevens. He tackled a complicated regulatory/Lux civil law question for us. His advice for us was extensive (providing all the necessary details) and on point (he knew to position himself). He was friendly and always available. The billing process was smooth and swift.’
