Noteworthy transactions highlighted by IBLJ included:

One of Gunderson’s clients praised the firm, saying, “We would rank them the highest, as compared to other international firms we have seen acting on India-related matters.” Singapore Managing Partner Jonathan Pentzien was commended for “his grasp, clarity of thoughts and ability to achieve a win-win for all parties involved.”
