‘When working with GT, compared to working with other law firms, first of all I have the feeling that the entire team knows what they are doing and is experienced enough to ensure that individual contracts and documents are prepared efficiently and well, and in the event of the leader's unavailability, the work will continue to be done efficiently.'
‘I work very well with Kamil Majewski, who has a brilliant perception of transactions, focuses on really important problems, and at the same time does not lose sight of smaller issues. He is precise, careful, and yet very quick to react. Kamil also gives the impression that he is focused on the transaction and does not deal with other clients' matters at the same time.'
‘Kamil Majewski is a safe pair of hands, very detailed and prompt communicator. Easy and super pleasant to deal with.’
