Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Lawyers are very professional and accommodating. Always ready to find solutions and are not afraid to think outside of the box. They make time when it is crucial and it is easy to reach them and get input quickly.’
‘We have consistently relied on NJORD for our real estate legal needs. Their team's responsiveness and deep knowledge in this area are second to none in my view. Their practice works as a cohesive unit, which results in very good communication and a comprehensive understanding of our needs. One of the strengths that I would like to point out is that the team has the ability to anticipate challenges and therefore provide clear, actionable advice.’
‘We have worked with Jelizaveta Henno. What sets her aside from other attorneys that we have worked so far is her understanding of real estate law, and her ability to make complex matters clear and understandable for non-lawyers. She truly has been an invaluable asset for the whole project. Another thing I would like to point out is her responsiveness. She is always quick to respond, even under tight deadlines, and her proactive approach has been invaluable.’
