- ‘I have no hesitation in recommending Eversheds Sutherland Sweden for employment law advice. I have worked with them on a number of matters and have found the advice to be prompt, reliable, and commercial. I am always given a timeline for advice.’
- ‘Rebecca Hayling and Torbjörn Lindmark are personable and easy to work with. Rebecca, in particular, gave clear advice and timelines and always supported or provided documentation where needed. We had clear conversations on the scope of work and cost estimates, and everything was diligently delivered. I am very thankful to Rebecca and Eversheds.’
- ‘Eversheds Sutherland was able to support us in many projects, considering an all-hands-on-deck approach, meaning they were able to support us in a fast and efficient way in situations with short deadlines and pressing need for legal feedback.’
- ‘Rebecca Hayling has become my go-to person for quick, complex questions, and from there she has taken on a few bigger projects which have been fast-moving and involved complex issues. She has been a fantastic addition to my local support.’
- ‘What makes Eversheds Sutherland a reliable partner is: they always offer a backup partner, rarely a single advisor works with us, which means work is always easily picked up - they offer market insights and a very commercial approach when we deal with employment law-related matters’
