“Wolf Theiss’s team is highly professional and very client-focused, exactly what one expects from a tier one law firm. The M&A transactions and corporate work done by Wolf Theiss almost always have international elements. I think they are really doing an excellent job. I also use Wolf Theiss in other areas, such as real estate, employment, competition and regulatory matters. The firm’s experts in all these areas do an excellent job and are very experienced.”

“We have worked with and had a good relationship with Wolf Theiss for many years in different areas. We frequently turn to them for financial regulatory work as they know our industry well. We like that they see the big picture and always have an original solution for issues. They are well connected to regulators and do traditional regulatory advisory, but they are also top with non-traditional outside-the-box requests concerning new payment methods.”
