Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘We work in a niche industry, which can sometimes make legal assessments of the practice difficult. Taylor Wessing handled this very well. Furthermore, I always found the collaboration very pleasant. Clear explanations, opportunities for discussion, and very approachable lawyers.’

  • ‘I appreciate that the lawyers are open and transparent. They're proactive and clear in their communication.’

  • ‘Mark Goorts provides thorough advice and effective dispute handling, all in good alignment and cooperation with other practices.’

  • ‘The practice excellently combines the strengths of a global law firm while maintaining the connection with the local culture. Their 'can do' attitude, due diligence in terms of legal research and advisory services, and clear style of communicating make them a practice that complements the inhouse legal practice.’

  • ‘Karlijn van Laar and Vera Jurgens stand out for their research and preparation before going to court and the oratory skills displayed in the court proceedings. The oratory skills of a well executed brief and Q&A are a clear & decisive differentiator that sets them apart from the other counsels in the courtroom.’

  • ‘The team is highly skilled and follows up on actions quickly and accurately. They are able to translate complex issues into understandable business language.’
