‘I have worked with many labour law lawyers during the years and Martin Vildhede stands out as one of the best. He has a high integrity and is very skilled and he talks in a way that you understand what he means without him sounding like a law book. He always delivers what he has promised and it feels like you are in a team with him, not using an external consultant.’
‘I came to Morris when Martin Vildhede started working there. He is extremely competent and has an ability to understand the problem and to see it from different angles. We made a major organisational change that many of us didn’t think would be possible. Martin Vildhede supported us with clarity and security.’
‘Easy contact. Clear answers. Problem solver. Martin Vildhede and the team around him is strong.’
