Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team works closely together which allows them to be on top of complex, information-dense disputes.’
‘The personal attention is what makes the difference, especially the combination Daphne Broerse and Annemarie Ver Loren van Themaat-Creutzberg work very well together.’
‘The firm has all the required knowledge about the various contracts in-house but the advantage is that the partners have sufficient knowledge and experience across the various project documentation, (sub)contracts and finance documentation. Professional, hard working and efficient and not over the top. I work with a variety of large law firms but rate the NRF team we work with top ranking.’
‘The quality of lawyers and counsel is great. They have the necessary experience on their resume so they are confident to act decisive and provide proper advice or draft documentation. This makes them independent. Partners are never far away if required and keep good feeling with the case-files. Each of the account holders I have worked with are very approachable and supportive. They make you feel that it is one team that works towards the same common goal.’
‘Strong cooperation and communication within the Norton Rose Fulbright team avoiding misunderstandings and/or inefficiencies. The team has a get-it-done-, pragmatic mentality. Ability to keep the communication and atmosphere good in sometimes difficult negotiations with the counterparty to leverage the human/relationship aspect in the process to reach an optimal outcome for our company.’
‘Daphne Broerse has deep knowledge of the key-contract we were renegotiating, which is helpful given the complexity of the contract. To ensure the legal reflection of the topics is indeed a proper reflection, she asks the right questions to get the full picture in order to "translate" this into the appropriate legal language that is actually workable/pragmatic during the lifetime of the contract.
‘What I really appreciate in both Daphne Broerse and Annemarie Ver Loren van Themaat-Creutzberg is that they are friendly, accessible, very smart yet modest and genuinely want to help and find the best solution for their clients. Their advice is concise and to the point and really helpful in day to day business. ’
