‘Hands-on team, always reachable, direct contacts. In-depth knowledge of Anglo-Saxon loan documentation.’
'Jack Schrijver has acted in our re-financing deal as a key person to drive the lawyers on the other side to deliver in time decisions and documents. Without his persistence we could not have made it in time.'
‘Sabine Schoute is a super lawyer. One of the best in class. To the point, commercial, smart and highly motivated to assist and solve problems. Sabine also has a great personality and is fun to work with.’
'GT combines global experience with local expertise. Working in the British office of an American company on a Dutch loan with the French office of a German lender requires a global perspective and flexibility adapting the business customs of multiple cultures. GT integrated resources from across their platform to close the loan.'
'Sabine Schoute is pragmatic, solutions-oriented and effective in driving progress on a deal. We intend to work with her on future transactions.'
