Testimonials

‘Clifford Chance is a big law firm that excels in doing large deals. They are lenders' counsel for our project, and due to a big waiver request, we have worked more extensively together. I would recommend to use Clifford Chance for very big and complex projects.’
‘Niels Kuil is a junior associate but we are extremely impressed by the way he managed this process. It was a complicated process and Niels was both very fast in understanding all agreements and matters and managed the process with the lenders also exceptional.’
