- 'This practice has a solid team of lawyers in other countries, which allows us to receive a comprehensive service since our lawyer can directly contact other lawyers in the firm's network to meet our needs outside of Nicaragua (which we have already done). Likewise, in terms of innovations, the access they give their clients to webinars on the Dentons Global platform is very worthwhile. Many topics of interest are discussed and the information is of a high level.'
