Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Very pleasant people to work with. They look beyond the initial question you ask; they widen the scope a bit so you can be sure you don't miss anything. They also think out of the box in their search for legal alternatives or solutions.'

  • 'They provide a good picture of legal risks and consequences, but at the same time have an eye for maintaining a good relationship with other parties in meetings. They are strategic in conversations. What I also really like is that they respond quickly to questions and are very flexible in making appointments.'
