Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘I thought that the team approach to my project was highly beneficial, i.e. where deep domain knowledge was needed, a senior partner was responsible, but for more mundane tasks, junior associates were assigned, which made the project more cost efficient for me.’
  • ‘Mike Kushnir, the lead attorney on my project, stood out for his creative thinking. My project, which was my company being acquired by another, almost fell apart in the final stages. Due to creative thinking by Mike re: how to get past a show-stopper, the transaction was saved.’
  • ‘Portia Keady is very kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and quick to refer to a specialist when appropriate. ’
