Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘The team is highly qualified for labour practice. They are not only limited to giving a legal response but also proposing alternatives to mitigate risks. It differs from other practices because it treats the client as if it were its own internal operation, it responds assertively and on time.’
‘Flavia Granados' best qualities are her specialisation in technical issues and the ability to explain or recommend their implementation in a simple way. In the case of Maria Teresa Cuba, her best qualities are proposing solutions to complex work situations and preventing alternatives for various situations that could potentially occur. Cecilia Guzman-Barron as a partner adequately manages the entire team and provides an almost personalised level of service to her clients.’
'Excellent team, with first-rate professionals with great commitment to their clients. They provide clients with the best support and follow-up on the cases. They adapt to the needs of the client.'
'They are all very kind, responsible and committed; and always seek to satisfy the client's need.'
'The DLA Piper team, especially Flavia Granados, supports us a lot since she knows almost the entire history of the company, which makes it more comprehensive when putting together a strategy for the company to achieve its mission. Also, the response time is much shorter compared to other offices.'
'I consider that the outstanding partner is Flavia Granados, since she is always willing to help the company and her response time is super fast.'
