The rankings are largely based on interviews with clients. Here are some quotes from our clients:
Dispute resolution, Tier 1
The practice is extremely
client-focused, and they deliver an exceptional approach to solving
difficult project issues. They offer clear advice which clients can
readily understand and direct their course of actions with
confidence.
Employment, Tier 1
The team has a wide practice and
covers almost all aspects of employment relationships. We have
worked with the team for years and never encountered a situation in
which the team has not been able to help us. Skilled, responsive
and creative are words that come to my mind when I think of
Castrén's employment team.
Banking and finance, Tier 1
The C&S team has the relevant
capabilities when it comes to financing agreements. The team
consists of people with different types of knowledge in varying
industries. In my opinion they have the best team in town.
EU & Competition, Tier 1
Top expertise, straightforward
approach to essential issues, no legal jargon. Cooperation and
communication is uncomplicated. Atmosphere is friendly, with a good
sense of humour.
Tax, Tier 2
The team is very responsive and
equipped with versatile experience. Especially the tax litigation
work provided by the team has been consistently excellent.
TMT, Tier 1
Eija Warma-Lehtinen and Kim
Parviainen are both excellent in what they are doing, and you can
feel the experience right away. They can understand the
client's business and the special questions related to it,
including questions outside of legal matters. They work as a team
with the client, and as a client, you can always be confident that
the matter will be handled with excellent experience and on
time.
Intellectual property, Tier 1
It is very easy to work with the
Castrén team. They respond very quickly and offer the best
expertise in relation to all the questions we might have.
Real Estate and Cosntruction, Tier 2
C&S's real estate practice
itself provides legal services with exceptional quality. The
practice is the best choice for anyone requiring legal advice on
complex real estate transactions or development projects with
difficult substance law questions. They can do it.
Capital Markets, Tier 2
They have a no-nonsense approach
which is based on extensive experience dealing with their
counterpart on an almost weekly basis.
Maritime and Transport
Rickard Langenskiöld and Jerker
Pitkänen both display tremendous experience and
problem-solving skills in complex shipping and maritime law
issues.
