Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Their actions and reactions are very quick and always to the point. They supported us at all times in a very professional, factually competent and well-structured manner. The multilingualism (in our experience, fluent Romanian, German and English) is also a big advantage.’
‘Noerr supported us with a strong team, with a lot of experience. We were able to trust a team with decades of experience in the M&A sector. They have advised us in various teams on different topics (corporate law, tax, antitrust law). They understand quickly our concerns and proactively point out latent risks. Their international network and experience also helps in the communication and in understanding of the clients needs and expectations.’
