Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The focus on insurance and only insurance, coupled with their groundbreaking work in many parts of that field sets them apart. Their approach to teamwork was amazing, and really added to the success. Our litigation was staffed with whoever it took to get a great result (and harnessed the brainpower of all the name partners). Their strategic insights into settlement strategy were critical, including who would settle and at what stages and levels.'
- 'Robin Cohen's general and strategic advice is excellent and a big part of their success. Orrie Levy's writing is superb. The ability of the entire team to pull together critical facts and understand a VERY complex bankruptcy and financial services matter was extraordinary.'
