Clients commend its expertise
“Their ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters is very strong. Littler are thorough and competent. In my opinion, they always cover all necessary aspects of an issue in their assessments and advice. The depth and breadth of their team is very strong. Littler is a niche company within employment law, providing legal assistance in all matters related to employment and labour law. Within the company's field of expertise, it provides all types of services as well as in-depth knowledge. The company also involves experts from other disciplines if the case so requires, without using more resources than necessary. Their service levels and responsiveness are very strong. Littler will deliver advice on very short notice, also during holidays and weekends if necessary. Littler's lawyers are friendly and helpful. Their ability to deliver to budget and provide overall value for money is very strong. In cases of a certain size, Littler always offers to give a price estimate to avoid unpleasant surprises related to costs. Any exceedance of the estimate is notified in advance. The scope of each assignment is also set out in collaboration with us to ensure that the final sum does not exceed what is justified by the case. Hourly rates are at the lower end of the scale compared to equivalent expertise in larger law firms. Their commercial awareness is strong. Their commitment to diversity and inclusion initiatives is very strong. To provide accurate advice, Littler arranged for assistance from a local [specific] expert in [another jurisdiction].” CLIENT | CHAMBERS EUROPE 2024

“For complex work, if you want to help the customer solve the problem, it's not enough to give them the legal answer. You need to help them from more than one perspective, and it's usually a very high emotional investment in these kinds of questions. We enjoy working with them and it's a fruitful partnership. Both parties learn something every time we do a project together. We think the customer is better off when we cooperate than if we give them advice from our own perspective. What collaborate on projects that require both legal and relational competence in labour law. They are very quick and very competent. They respond fast. They are also proactive, so they come to us with their opinions and recommendations on how to proceed. There are no improvements the firm could make from what I have observed.” CLIENT | CHAMBERS EUROPE 2024
