Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The strength of Robalino is that they bring partners together with diverse practices to analyse not only the dispute but the underlying agreements. Robalino has individuals who have a background in the substantive transaction giving rise to the dispute, as well as experienced litigators. This allows the team to ask relevant questions related to the underlying transaction which better positions the strategy being employed in resolving the dispute.'
- 'Javier Robalino leads the team and given his experience is uniquely positioned to understand the arc of the underlying transaction and the dispute. This enables Javier to map out a strategy to be employed, while still being cognisant of the client's needs and limitations.'
- 'Martín Pallares Sevilla brings an understanding of cross-border transactions to a litigation team which is invaluable in dissecting the underlying deal and understanding the various stress points in the transaction which contributed to the dispute. Martin is also invaluable at understanding the limitations associated with any resolution of the dispute.'
