‘Our office is located overseas and we speak only English. The team at Simont Braun was very responsive, able to understand our unique position within the insurance market, and timely guided us through the process of establishing business operations in Brussels. We spoke with another law firm that was unable to move as quickly or provide the experienced guidance on what we should expect that Simont Braun could.’
‘Thomas Derval drafted informative, clear, and concise instructions and insight for what we needed to know in a timely manner. Philippe De Pez was readily available and responsive, as we fought against time zone changes, and a quick deadline to establish our business.’
‘Thomas Derval was very dedicated to our case. Thomas and his team were creative problem solvers. They were thorough with the handling of numerous shared documents.’
