‘Top-tier conflicts-free boutique litigation firm.’
‘Providence Law Asia is a top-tier litigation firm. They are very well-respected for being technically outstanding and at the same time commercially-focused to help their clients achieve the best possible outcome. Providence Law Asia has a very dedicated team in its litigation department that has always maintained a high standard. Where urgent work is needed, the team members are always prepared to work late and to prepare good drafts of documents with very limited time available. I would recommend this firm highly.’
