Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The practice distinguishes itself by the breadth and depth of its resources and the value they provide. Across the U.S., we work with lawyers in other cities who had particular strength in certain topic areas. And beyond the U.S., we are the beneficiaries of an integrated international practice that provides greater resources for us.'
'In addition to the breadth, the depth of the practice is exceptional - we certainly recognize their industry-leading expertise and reputation. Their experience and knowledge pertaining to statutes, regulations, industries, ecosystems, and commercial markets provided value to us well beyond traditional "legal support."’
‘The individual lawyers we worked with differentiated themselves in several key areas. Their expertise is deep and comprehensive. The access they provide across their international practice and firm is incredibly valuable. They work seamlessly together as a single "team" to help amplify their impact for us.'
