The partner can be reached at any time, and proactive communication is excellent’), FinTech (‘they are unique in the market in their ability to advise on fintech and crypto activities’), Gambling Law (‘at the forefront of the latest developments in international gambling law’) and Technology, Media and Telecoms (‘very good team spirit and good lawyers who actively try to help and think along with the client’).
