I have always been very happy to conduct negotiations with Claudia Lechner; her great understanding and fine grasp in particular of the commercial requirements made us a strong team in front of our negotiation partners. She has a very sound legal expertise which in combination with her understanding of the commercial and technical issues can definitely be described as exceptional.
