“Above all, the contact is fast, and in cases that required urgent analysis and response, we received a concrete and synthetic answer. We have also always been able to expect comments on our actions. In some cases, we even received linguistic assistance with the material submitted when time was of the essence and the material obtained from the translators contained errors. The prepared letters contained relevant factual arguments and were supported by case-law.”
