‘The legal services provided in the area of litigation are impeccable. I find that no matter the difficulty of the case, solutions are always found.’
‘Based on my experience, the RELEVAN's dispute resolution team is clearly the best on the Slovak market. Compared to other law firms that we have worked with, RELEVANS delivers results that are much more elaborated. The team comes up with multiple ideas and is able to quickly work out all these ideas simultaneously. Furthermore, all the written correspondence is produced with high due diligence, yet really very understandable to the reader.'
‘Founding and managing partner Alexander Kadela is exceptionally focused, experienced and professional. He is one of the kind who considers all the possibilities before making a decision. Due to his extraordinary strategic thinking he is always a step ahead. I especially appreciate his sense for details and his drive to find the resolution.’
