• 'I would particularly like to highlight Thorsten Ammann. He does not tolerate half-hearted performances, either from himself or from his team. Why do people pay more for an iPhone when they could get comparable features at a much lower price from other smartphone manufacturers? Because the added value and user experience are right. This is also what Thorsten's consulting services strive to achieve: he offers real added value: pragmatic, innovative, solution-oriented and far beyond the field of law.'
• 'What makes DLA special is that they don't think in terms of country-specific silos, but rather as a German team that is part of a fully integrated, global AI practice. In other words, they think about AI globally and not just in terms of law, but also have a whole host of data scientists on board who work hand in hand with us legal professionals to develop innovative solutions for us internally and also for clients. DLA does not think about AI in isolation either.'
• 'Thorsten Ammann in particular combines legal, compliance, IT and business management expertise and manages his team accordingly. His openness, patience and willingness to understand the client's situation in the technical context brings added value to the legal service. The very good personal relationship to him made it easy to achieve success. If necessary for the success of a project, his hands-on attitude made it ease to bring topics to his attention for a big bandwidth of people with technical background.'
• 'Combining legal, compliance, IT and business management expertise to deliver added value to the client, use of AI in practical legal daily business, supportiveness of the whole team, if necessary specialists are brought to the team.'
• 'Thorsten Ammann has a great understanding of clients' needs with regard to AI.'
