Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Hands-on team, always reachable, direct contacts. In-depth knowledge of Anglo-Saxon loan documentation.’

  • 'Jack Schrijver has acted in our re-financing deal as a key person to drive the lawyers on the other side to deliver in time decisions and documents. Without his persistence we could not have made it in time.'

  • ‘Sabine Schoute is a super lawyer. One of the best in class. To the point, commercial, smart and highly motivated to assist and solve problems. Sabine also has a great personality and is fun to work with.’

  • 'GT combines global experience with local expertise. Working in the British office of an American company on a Dutch loan with the French office of a German lender requires a global perspective and flexibility adapting the business customs of multiple cultures. GT integrated resources from across their platform to close the loan.'

  • 'Sabine Schoute is pragmatic, solutions-oriented and effective in driving progress on a deal. We intend to work with her on future transactions.'
