  • 'José Covarrubias knows contentious matters and attends us correctly.’

  • ‘Jose Covarrubias has very good knowledge regarding the procedural framework to attend trials.’

  • ‘Pérez Correa González has many strengths to work with. For instance, they are very diligent, good at communications, very professional with their work. I have worked with different legal firms and I would say they are the no.1 team that I have ever worked with. In regards to my last case in Mexico, I believe that we would not have obtained the same favorable result if we did not work with them.’

  • ‘I worked with José Covarrubias Azuela mostly and he is the key litigation partner in PCG. Despite a time difference, he was always there to communicate with us and gave us prompt feedback and work resulta at all times. His knowledge of the case was exceptional and definitely, and he is the lawyer I could recommend to others (I have recommended him to my colleague from another division too). I am confident to recommend him to anyone and they will not be disappointed with Jose's work.’
