His expertise in procurement and competition law was crucial to the success of the project. As the client’s main point of contact, he did an excellent job coordinating the efforts of the law firm he represented, including bringing in additional expertise in areas such as EEA law, corporate law, and more.’
• ‘The team demonstrated exceptional legal expertise combined with a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach. They were responsive, commercially astute, and consistently delivered high-quality advice and easily adapted to the process and the various changes and challenges that we encountered during the project execution. The team consisted of a mix of senior, junior, and paralegal resources that fitted the task perfectly.'
