Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'The team stands out for its deep subject-matter expertise, global coordination, and responsiveness—qualities that have made them a trusted partner as we navigate the evolving ESG regulatory landscape.'
- 'What makes this practice unique is its ability to combine technical legal precision with commercial pragmatism. The team has been instrumental in helping us respond to ESG regulatory developments, particularly in the U.S., where the landscape is increasingly fragmented and politically charged.'
‘Across multiple engagements, Nicola Higgs, Betty Huber, and Jaime Martin have consistently demonstrated a rare combination of technical excellence, commercial pragmatism, and collaborative spirit that sets them apart from competitors in the ESG regulatory space.'
- 'What makes them different is not just their subject-matter expertise, but their ability to translate complex and fast-moving regulatory developments into practical, actionable guidance. Nicola Higgs has been particularly impressive in this regard; her ability to distil macro ESG trends into tangible takeaways for deal teams and portfolio companies has made her a go-to advisor. She is responsive, thoughtful, and always attuned to the nuances of our business needs, including tailoring content for APAC, EMEA, and US audiences.'
- 'Jaime Martin has been instrumental in delivering high-quality fund documentation, training, and materials, particularly around CSRD and ESG marketing principles. Jaime’s attention to detail, responsiveness to feedback, and ability to present complex material in a digestible format have made a real difference in our internal ESG education efforts.'
- 'What we’ve valued most in all three is their collaborative approach. They work seamlessly with each other and with our internal teams, often anticipating our needs before we articulate them. Their materials are consistently well-prepared, visually clear, and compliance-ready, and they are always open to feedback and iteration.'
