Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The B&B team, and especially Pablo Berenguer, provide close and technically excellent advice.'
‘The ability to convey advice to the client in understandable terms and significant practical experience.'
‘The Bird & Bird team is always at the forefront of technical-legal knowledge geared towards business and avoiding disputes in this area, protecting the interests of its clients from the very first minute. In comparison with other firms, I consider them to be true experts in the field, not only from a legal regulatory point of view but also from a technical one.'
‘In addition to being leaders in the field in terms of knowledge of the subject, I have not seen a firm that is closer to its clients and has such a good commercial approach. The firm's lawyers are colleagues from the very beginning, making communications, efficiency and synchronisation flow without a problem. It is almost an extension of the legal advisory team without the need for an adaptation period, and this is only achieved thanks to great leadership, eagerness to learn from the more junior lawyers and awareness of their role in each matter. In this sense, some people that I consider exceptional within the firm would be the following: Pablo Berenguer and Joaquín Muñoz.'
