‘Arias did a great job. Very reliable and we felt well advised by the firm.’
‘Responsive and knowledgeable. Maria Cristina Fábrega was a great partner on the project.’
‘Arias has worked with our company for many years, which means that its knowledge of the business is extensive. The team's involvement in matters is very smooth and it is always able to resolve any issue raised punctually and assertively. It seems to me that what makes Arias different is the team's ability to get involved and make the clients' problems its own.’
‘Arias' lawyers work with us as if they were internal lawyers for our company, which makes it easier and faster for them to attend to any matter raised. They are always available to answer calls or emails and their understanding of the issues is comprehensive - they do not only see one aspect of the matter; they always see it from all possible angles to avoid any future risks. I would like to highlight Denise Littman and Yuri Moreno as outstanding lawyers.'
