The team has been easy to reach, highly present, and consistently engaged, which has made collaboration smooth and efficient. Their advice has been practical, constructive, pragmatic and had a commercial value. We particularly appreciated the team setup and dynamics. Younger lawyers were given genuine room to take ownership and lead discussions, which brought energy, clarity, and strong preparation to the process.
