Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Alina Makovska really stands out. She combines strong legal knowledge with a very practical approach, which makes her advice easy to apply in real business situations. She is clear, responsive, and always well-prepared, which gives us confidence when dealing with sensitive executive-level employment matters. What we value most is that she doesn’t just point out risks but also helps us find workable solutions quickly and effectively.’
- ‘Alina Makovska was our main contact and was always available to assist on short notice, at the same time proving excellent commercial awareness and on-point advice. We also noted Giedrė Cesiulytė-Meginė's responsive assistance with a complex, contentious matter, competently supplementing Alina's advice and providing hands-on assistance.’
