  • ‘Alberto Alonso Ureba's deep knowledge of legal matters translates into security for the clients. He conveys a lot of confidence to the client and in all the matters we have worked on.'

  • ‘The firm in general has established itself as a leading boutique firm in the Spanish market, known for its strong reputation among its stable of tech clients in particular. We specifically worked with the corporate/M&A team under the expert guidance of Borja Díaz-Guerra. Borja leads a team of high-quality performing lawyers with excellent responsiveness and a willingness to go the extra mile.'

  • ‘Borja Díaz-Guerra is our key contact and, in my view, despite his relatively young age, is a stand-out partner not only in the firm but the wider market. Borja is not only a brilliant and technically gifted lawyer, but he is reasoned and commercial, and has a pragmatic and solution-focused approach that we highly appreciate from a client perspective. Uniquely, Borja is also qualified as a Solicitor of England & Wales which is notable when, on occasion, we have tasked him with assisting on multi-jurisdictional and complex corporate transactions.'

  • ‘Very fast and hands-on team with a calm and pragmatic approach that makes you feel like you're in a very safe pair of hands. ’
