- 'They are very competent and responsible, and follow up on matters very satisfactorily. A number of the lawyes have a strong leadership ethic and the treatment of clients is excellent.'
- 'As its name indicates, estate planning aims to help clients achieve their financial goals, through investment planning, insurance analysis, retirement planning and in general the financial planning of a person or group of people or families in many cases. It is extremely important that the lawyers of the offices work together with the clients (investors) in order to create structures that help them achieve their short, medium and long term goals. In the case of Galicia Abogados, they have developed this area exponentially, since the team in charge of this area has extensive experience in Civil, Succession, Real Estate, Financial matters and above all, demonstrate empathy with their clients and their needs, taking their financial situation into account and understanding where they want to direct it.'

- 'Galicia is absolutely first rate in wealth management, trusts and private client practice, with deep experience and expertise in complex, multi-jurisdictional planning.'
- 'Of particular note is the senior partner with whom we have worked for many years, Christian Lippert. Christian is not only one of the leading corporate and transactional lawyers in Mexico, specialising in international corporate work, but he is also a stellar expert in complex trust and estate planning matters. For example, we have worked closely together on the creation of Mexican Fideicomisos to hold hundreds of millions of dollars of assets that meet applicable Mexican requirements while at the same time satisfying complicated U.S. tax requirements. Christian is keenly intelligent, has excellent judgment built on deep experience, and a practical approach to difficult problems. He is particularly knowledgeable in cross-border matters, and can juggle the complexities of various legal systems masterfully. Finally, and very importantly Christian is a delightful person with whom to work.'
