We really, really, really appreciate all the hard work you’ve done on our behalf. You’ve been our rock and we believe that we have secured a great deal (and secure) through all your tireless efforts. This was one hell of an agreement, but we got there in the end 🙂

24/7/365 describes Lawyer.se perfectly. We called on a Sunday evening and received a call back that very evening around 10pm. We had an urgent requirement for a Swedish visa for a Russian esports player. We found Annette and her team approachable, always available and using out of the box thinking. Their maverick style was what was required and after pulling out all the stops, using their contacts and persisting, a fast track visa was acquired. We are now continuing to work with them and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Tommy has been with us since the start for a reason. His steadfast approach and knowledge has not only guided us through the trenches of European, American and Chinese video game law. His methodological forthrightness in picking up and laying clear what we have to solve in order to move forward is always refreshing.
