Client comment A regular client who has used the firm in several high-value disputes says it “clearly beats its competitors in professionalism, preparedness, power of argumentation, alertness, tactics and thorough appreciation and understanding of the issues at stake.” Marnix Leijten is described as “exceptionally committed, with very strong ethical values and excellent performance both on the strategic level and in execution”; Bregje Korthals-Altes is “very solid” and “makes complex issues less complex”; and Albert Marsman is “outstanding” in hearings. Another client in a commercial dispute says Edward van Geuns is a “strong lawyer, meticulous and very convincing in the arbitration hearings.” Download Click here to read GAR’s analysis of De Brauw’s arbitration practice (GAR login required).
