This accolade is given to the top 30% of firms in each jurisdiction.
In line with this recognition, the client feedback of the EMEA 2025 guide emphasised a high level of client service and our ability to recognise opportunities and adapt to clients' needs and commercial drivers. Clients commended our experts "exceptional level of expertise and dedication to client satisfaction", "ability to see problems from the customer's point of view and find creative solutions to them" and "exceptionally sharp customer focus throughout the process, mitigating risks and adding value every step".
