Client feedback:
32nd edition (2022/2023)
"Responsive and knowledgeable."
"During all this long preparation, the team of A&O Shearman has shown strong technical skills, has always explained to
those of
us who are not lawyers or
business people specialised in these matters the issues and risks, and have always made proposals with a goal/business-oriented approach. Availability has also been a very important quality."
