Hillhouse Legal Partners helped me set up my tech business five years ago and, since then, they have supported me with legal advice as my company has grown. From day one I have felt like they have had our backs. I've always found each Hillhouse team member to be very happy to help while being extremely professional. They understand how to run a business, they understood my journey in growing my business and I have always had their personal attention when I needed it. As my business continues to expand, I will continue turning to them for strategic and solutions focussed advice.
