Client feedback

“Extremely professional, concise, timely and creative.” – Banking and finance

“Gall is a first class firm, offering practical and cost effective advice in complex and high value matrimonial finance, as well as children's matters.” – Dispute resolution

“Very effective and focused on the executive termination matter, and helped it reach a conclusion that was positive for the client. Overall, the quality of the advice has been fantastic.” – Labour and employment

“The firm has very strong and attentive client service, detailed and thoughtful analysis of relevant case law, and demonstrated deep experience in Hong Kong employment related matters. In terms of areas of improvement, my main concern is that the firm has few senior partners with strong Mandarin skills, and relies more on junior associates when analysing some contracts that were in Chinese.” – Labour and employment
