Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Combination of big firm capabilities with a level of access and responsiveness that is rare at this scale.
- ‘I contacted Seyfarth at the same time as three other firms, and I was impressed by the approach of partner Gillett Aaron: he immediately struck me as extremely professional, yet very down-to-earth. My immediate impression was that he was a competent professional who, despite being aware that I was also considering other firms, did not feel the need to adopt an overly commercial approach. When the work began, he was very reactive and his contribution was very efficient and reliable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron as a consultant for this type of activity.
