Testimonials

‘A strong and experienced group of partners and senior lawyers that will give clients the senior attention needed. Strong commercial sense and fair prices.’

‘The partners have a strong entrepreneurial approach to everything they do. They are highly committed and innovative.’

‘I think and feel that they have a human environment where employees are given a free space to be skilled professionally but are also flesh and blood people. All things being equal, this results in a different type of person who has increased knowledge, vision and energy to understand what is central and what may be less important in a case. Strong valuable attribute.’

‘Thomas Donatzky is outstanding. Serious, sympathetic and exceptionally large work capacity and ability to get to grips with a situation and get it resolved.’

‘High professional level, lawyers always available, including over the summer, a broadly composed team that could take care of different areas of expertise, a high degree of friendliness and hospitality.’

‘Our experience with competitors is not extensive. But what was important in our case was an approachability despite our lack of knowledge about business acquisitions and sales, and patience to repeatedly explain and elaborate for us. As well as understanding that other professional expertise than law was essential in specific areas for the preparation of a good agreement. The sale of our company was a success with few serious obstacles along the way. Donatzky & Partners successfully navigated the deal in a well-balanced manner.’
