 “The fact that my lawyers were with me right from the start of the partnership project enabled me to see certain aspects of the future relationship that I had not thought about; we optimised the negotiation time by immediately making a list of all the points to be discussed with my main supplier.”
The Managing Director of a distribution company

“A lawyer indeed has a cost, but he enabled me to save a good deal of expense that I would have had to pay to my sales representatives had he not told me to mention it in their contract ….. not to speak of the cost in the event of a law suit.” 
The Chairman of a supplier of heating and air conditioning equipment  

“My lawyer had begun his career in New York which made relations with the lawyer of my American distributor considerably easier.”
The International Director of a swimming pool manufacturer

« Had my lawyer not intervened for establishing all the clauses of the contract, I would have had to plead my case in Brussels, or in Belgium; according to the law applicable there I would have had to pay compensation to my local distributor.”  
The General Manager of a supplier of professional clothing
