Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Raúl Salas offers us direct, close and professional treatment that can be extended to his team.'

  • ‘I believe that what makes working with this team of professionals very different is that they have extensive experience (having worked in some of the Big Four and the largest international law firms in the world). This allows them to face highly complex tax issues, both international and national, with the security of professionals who have faced similar issues on other occasions, transmitting confidence that our matters are in the best hands.' 

  • 'They make the client's tax problems their own and you can see how you have their total dedication, availability and involvement.'

  • ‘They stand out for the perfect combination of technical excellence, experience and dedication. When you work with other advisers you have the feeling that you have collaborators who are there to help you. When you work with Raúl Salas and his team you have the feeling that they are part of your team and that they are integrated as another part of the company. They accompany you as part of the organisation. I would highlight Elena Ferrer-Samas.'

  • ‘The ROCA TEAM is very agile, quick to respond and always providing the necessary tax advice at the highest level, analysing all possibilities and showing all risks.’
