Testimonials

‘DLA Piper has an extremely well-rounded and diverse practice with the ability to call on resources worldwide.’

‘The overall impression of the firm is positive. As main strengths I can record their capability to understand and summarize a huge amount of information in a relatively short time. They are able to formulate also commercial strategies and not only legal advice.’
