Testimonials

‘PHR provides holistic knowledge. Its lawyers are not only corporate lawyers but also criminal lawyers — it is interdisciplinary.’
‘We value its lawyers for their interdisciplinary training.’
‘The team is excellent and provides a timely response to specific and urgent queries. We value its interdisciplinary knowledge and ability to work with other practice teams that come together to provide quality solutions.’
‘Key strengths and skills: knowledge and experience. Comparison with other firms: it has a methodology to address issues, which I like more than that of other firms. New features introduced: there are women in the team, unlike other firms; it reports news on regulatory matters and holds webinars.’
‘I get along well with the entire team, lawyers understand my needs from the function I perform but even more importantly, the needs of the company. In our calls, they make an important effort to ask questions that allow us to have all the context and thus be able to advise us appropriately.’
‘I highlight Oscar Tutasaura's work, it is exceptional and covers all fields. In some cases it has been required that the firm in turn link partners from other areas to cover the queries and have a clear view of the entire picture.’
‘An excellent team of professionals who advise and support you in the relevant processes with clarity.’
‘We appreciate its lawyers knowledge and specialisation in different legal areas. This experience is transmitted to the contracts.’
