- ‘Fredrik Aadahl is an efficient adviser who adapts his counselling to the benefit of the client in a cost-efficient manner. He is very accessible, pleasant to talk to (quite funny actually) and holds a high level of legal expertise. His work is characterised by high legal precision and interdisciplinary counselling and is highly valued by us.’
- ‘The lawyers easily understand complex issues, which makes us feel safe when we receive legal advice in complicated cases. They follow up with questions about how the case has developed even after they have delivered their part, which shows that they care about how our company is doing after following their advice in the cases.’
- ‘We have collaborated most with Iver Jordheim Brække and Alf Amund Gulsvik. They have given us good advice and have delivered well according to the deadlines we have set. If we have had urgent matters, they have delivered good notes in a very short time. Iver has been the one we have collaborated with most closely, and he is good at explaining what can be a bit demanding in a layman's way.’
- ‘CMS Kluge has people who are passionate about their field and genuinely want to help the client reduce risk and see opportunities.’
- ‘Fredrik Aadahl is highly responsive and his advice is top concerning construction procurements.’
