Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Devoted to client service. Particular expertise in the New York office in white collar criminal defense and credit card processing.’

  • ‘Have had a great experience with Adam Hunt.’

  • ‘They are very easy to get along with my experience (which matters if you're working together often) and extremely responsive, which is one of the most important things in my opinion. Client service is wonderful. And there is a very "can do" attitude. At the same time, they aren't afraid to tell me when I'm wrong -- which is also very important. And, of course, they are all very smart and not afraid to dig into new issues.’

  • ‘They are easy to get along with and just fun people. If you're working together a lot, it's a must have. Shout out to Alex Lawrence, who is one of my favorite all time lawyers to work with. He is smart, extremely (extremely) responsive, and is always there when I need him (even if I'm asking for something that isn't even remotely billable). That kind of "whatever you need" support makes outside counsel like Alex invaluable and irreplaceable.’

  • ‘This team is strategic, thoughtful and organized. They have the ability to handle high stakes litigation with the sophistication and strategic mindset that drive positive results. They are proactive and thoughtful in their approach.’

  • ‘The team is responsive and proactive. They are bringing new ideas on how to drive strategies forward rather than reacting to the litigation as it proceeds.’
