A leading global financial services provider client says:

“I am impressed how quickly Danny grasped the important elements of the complex contract and the underlying business.  Danny first explores what  our business need is and then he tailors his advice to it.  We immediately felt that Danny has a profound understanding of available legal remedies and a solid experience in what possibly works and what doesn’t.  Danny show a very good balance of confidence and disclosure of risks.  This made the core team and our top management feel confident as well.  On top, Danny and his team work really fast and deliver high quality of work.  And last but not least, on top of Danny’s humour which I like very much, Danny explains complex legal topics in such a way that also our colleagues from the business understand.”
