Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The differentiating factor is, in addition to technical reliability, the quality of care. We can synthesise this quality in collaboration.’
‘The lawyers with whom we interact are Ignacio Demarco and Diego Viana. Both are important pillars in the firm and represent for us reliability and the peace of mind that they are always available.’
‘I can say that one of the strong points of this team is the permanent updating regarding decrees and new provisions.’
‘There are many aspects to highlight over other offices. The first thing is warmth and closeness, that makes us as clients feel safe and supported in any situation. The commitment with which they take on challenges, regardless of whether they are on a rest day or even on vacation, they will answer and interrupt their day to help us.'
'In my case I have to highlight Ignacio Demarco for his solidity in terms of knowledge and for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that we can count on him to face any situation. It is not easy to find a lawyer who has so many strengths.’
