Testimonials

‘The most important reason why Dentons stands out for me is absolutely their knowledge. This knowledge gives me trust and the feeling of hiring the best lawyers there are within the commercial real estate practice.’

‘Jeroen le Clercq is the lawyer that really stands out for me. What I particularly like about Jeroen is that he is approachable, easy to reach – or he always calls me back within a reasonable time frame. If I have an important legal question, often you want to have a quick (first) advice/answer. With Jeroen, you get a quick advice/answer. Besides his excellent responsiveness, he is also a very honest person. He can explain the “pro’s and con’s” in easy language and is honest about what he thinks about the feasibility of a case.’

‘The team has amazing coverage across the globe, super quick response time, great final products and an answer to everything.’

‘We worked with a few great people at Dentons, but Jeroen le Clercq is the one that really stood out for us. We reached out to him on multiple occasions with very diverse legal issues and challenges and he delivered gold, every single time. Always responsive, understands any challenge and gets straight to the point. Delivers the answers and sometimes even more inisghts and advice, has a great network too and is truly interested in his clients and cares about the projects.’

‘Wendela Raas and Jeroen le Clercq are a top duo. Best in class!’

‘We enjoy working with Wendela Raas, she is well informed, has a lot of experience in her field (not only legal) and acts quickly and efficiently. She knows our business and what are goals and wishes are. She understands our strategy and focus.’
