Testimonials

‘What makes this practice unique is its specialisation in the environmental field, which is especially useful in issues related to renewable energy and sustainability. The team stands out for its deep knowledge of environmental regulations and its ability to offer proactive solutions tailored to the reality of each project, anticipating potential regulatory issues.'
‘The lawyers stand out for their dedication and experience in environmental matters, combining a high technical level with a practical approach. What sets them apart from their competitors is their excellent customer service, which they pamper, and their ability to address complex issues clearly and effectively, always prioritizing quality and regulatory compliance.’
‘The team has a considerable number of senior lawyers who are truly specialised in environmental law. Unlike other firms (where environmental advice is more incidental, in relation to energy or infrastructure issues), their specialisation and dedication to the subject are total. Their way of working is fully adapted to the client's needs, responding in an executive and agile manner to complex environmental issues, making the difficult easy and perfectly identifying the points that concern the client.
‘The point of reference for environmental matters is José del Saz-Orozco, a senior lawyer with a consolidated career in environmental matters. He stands out above any other senior associate in other firms, and even above partners who appear in higher positions. The team has a good number of senior associates who are also specialised in the subject, as well as a partner who coordinates the environmental and urban planning practices.'
‘Pérez-Llorca's approach integrates environmental law, urban planning and regulatory issues, allowing them to provide comprehensive and integrated advice on the matters I ask them to assist with. This approach gives them a prominent position in the legal market, as other firms only offer environmental advice on a side or accessory basis.'
‘The team is in my opinion one of the most reliable in the market. My main references in environmental matters are Alberto and José, who have a solid track record in this field. They stand out above other lawyers from other firms in terms of precision, flexibility and speed.'
‘It's an amazing team. We've worked and collaborated a lot for many years and I have a lot of confidence in them.'
