Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Highly skilled, client-focused and exceptional talent to identify what the client's actual need is - not what a lawyer wants to do, but what the client needs. Many other lawyers tend to spitball ideas that aim at creating more work, but not always what is crucial for the client's business.’
- ‘Lieke has a clear and focused clientele, namely the property owners. They have a strategic level of understanding from the property or project owner side, which is very valuable. This also helps in larger projects, because disqualifying or refusing services for involvement with counterparties and contractors is not an issue. ’
- ‘Lieke is a suitable size and agile company for us, with a fairly young but very broad range of skills. Our contact persons are eager to help find solutions to problems, meaning they have a solution-oriented way of working with us.’
- ‘Juho Lönnblad has good presentation skills and prepares his insights carefully. He is always searching for practical and feasible solutions.’
- ‘Lieke has helped us in challenging negotiations regarding contractors' responsibilities, as well as in the evaluation and development of contract documents in new contracts, with the aim of preventing and avoiding pitfalls in contracts that lead to possible or likely problems and disputes.'
- ‘I would specifically like to mention Rosa Lång, who is involved in many cross-border assignments involving negotiation of commercial contracts. Rosa is very strategic with her advice and in the negotiations themselves, offering her clients a pragmatic, business-oriented, and solutions-targeted approach.’
