Testimonials

‘They form an exceptional team at all levels. Very senior and experienced team that is always involved and technically excellent. It offers comprehensive advice, supported, if the operation requires it, by their very extensive international network.'
‘They have a highly technically qualified team and, from a personal point of view, they show a closeness that most law firms lack. They have recently hired Counsel Borja Vázquez, who came from an English firm, who is technically brilliant, always available and offers practical and efficient commercial solutions to be able to close the deal in the best interest of his client. It is a pleasure to work with him from a personal and professional point of view.’
