Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘They have a very pragmatic approach and look at things with the intention of finding a solution. They do not repeat the clients the problem to be faced but how to solve it. They have one of the strongest teams in the region. The fact that Baker has offices all over the globe make them a one stop shop. This is valuable nowadays, when the flow of information is critical and when having too many people involved in a project can affect the outcome.’
‘Javier Ordoñez is a super knowledgeable lawyer. He knows the law and regulations in and out. His charismatic approach and easy access made him a very reliable person for us. Clients and the industry in general speak very high about him. He is a hard worker person and someone who rolls up his sleeves when needed.’
‘I'd highlight the team's up-to-the-minute knowledge and creativity in the face of the different challenges seen in planning.’
