'In media law matters, we continue to work primarily with Stefan Engels and his IP team. The reason for the ongoing collaboration is in particular the excellent broad coverage and thus also the good integration in the area of intellectual property rights and media law.'
'We particularly value Stefan Engels as an excellent lawyer and very good strategist and tactician who is extremely well connected and has very deep knowledge of the media industry and the media business. His commitment and ability to think outside the box of the specific mandate and to work comprehensively for the client are particularly noteworthy.'
'The team is very good and competent, everything I need is processed very quickly.'
'They provide business-focused advice, which is not always the norm among external consultants.'
