Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Good professionals, a wide range of disciplines that allow a broad assessment of the matters raised.’
  • ‘We have a direct contact with lawyer Kristine Slotnæs, our reference for employment matters. She is a very good professional, always providing the best solution for the matters raised, but also considering all the possible alternative options. Gets support from other colleagues to prepare overall assessments.’
  • ‘Brækhus always offer a balanced view of opinion and legal stances to help non-legal customers understand and formulate a strategy. Customers feel comforted that they are in safe hands as they are guided through often complex issues. They also have extensive and privileged knowledge, where they can refer to previous similar cases or are familiar with those in the public domain.’
  • The individuals I deal with are supremely friendly and personable. Whenever I reach out, they are quick to respond and keen to understand the issues in detail. They follow up on previous cases to ensure results and learnings.'
