‘Laurence Dumure Lambert was both extremely professional and very personable in her support. In addition to the result, which I am very satisfied with, she was able to support me at every stage. First of all by enlightening me on the legal points, then by negotiating with my company's counsel. Her female perspective was also invaluable in my case. From the beginning, I felt confident but above all, very well advised - being sure that my interests would be defended as best as possible in this rather technical case.'
