‘We were thoroughly impressed by the firm's promptness, commercial acumen, ability to understand international culturally sensitive issues, and ability to keep advice concise and direct. I enjoyed working with them since they do not over-engineer advice and understand complex tech-transfer issues with ease. We enjoy working with Cescon Barrieu on cross-border joint ventures, technology and data transfers and regulatory queries about the use and transfer of data.'
