“There were a few key factors that brought us to Rimon. First, I respect the leadership here, which gives attorneys ownership over their practice, flexibility, and always puts the clients’ best interests at the forefront.  Second is the new platform and network of global partners, which is best to serve clients across different jurisdictions at a low cost due to low overhead and no internal bureaucracy. I believe this should be the future of legal, and Rimon is the pioneer,” said Dr. Wang.
