‘What makes the EY practice unique is the knowledge in different areas and sectors of the economy, which allows it to work with greater ease and precision on tax aspects from different angles and jurisdictions. Furthermore, being an international firm, they are at the forefront in technological issues, collaboration, diversity, etc. Likewise, EY has the great advantage of being accounting auditors, which allows them to combine accounting aspects with tax aspects in a unique way. Finally, what makes the firm unique are its partners and its work team.'
‘The plus that makes their lawyers stand out is the work team led by Roberto Cores, which has allowed us to work with him and other teams in different areas and foreign jurisdictions, as well as in transactions that involve different sectors of the economy. What impressed me most about Mr. Cores was the ease with which he tackles extremely complex cases. A particular strength of Mr. Cores is his proactivity. Furthermore, I'd highlight his perception of thinking and his notable creativity in addressing complex scenarios that justify sophisticated solutions. His technical knowledge is surely outstanding.'
