‘The team is very proactive and responsive - so I can expect that any topic I submit will be addressed quickly and adequately.’
‘The specialists I work with have excellent knowledge of the market, the sector as well as the laws within it. In addition, they are familiar with the practices used in the market, which allows me to effectively protect the interests of my company in the contracts prepared by them.’
‘In my view, the team is truly unique. Not only are they exceptional lawyers and skillful litigators, but their command of technical issues—especially those presented in cases where I was involved—is unmatched. They have also demonstrated a profound understanding of the construction and energy industry. I have not encountered another team as capable in resolving construction disputes. Moreover, they are remarkably results oriented, with a strong drive to achieve the outcomes which clients desire.'
‘Agnieszka Wojciechowska is truly special. She is the full package, combining top level – written and oral – advocacy skills, with an excellent command of engineering issues, and a strategic and sharp mind. In short, she is an outstanding litigator, who thrives in construction disputes. Agnieszka is very talented, and she operates equally smoothly in complex public procurement and energy law issues. She is also very good in dealing with construction experts. And she is very dedicated and business orientated.'
