Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Excellent multidisciplinary team that keeps the client informed of all developments.'
‘Ignacio Demarco is always attentive and available.'
- 'The response is excellent, when the assigned lawyer is not there, another one immediately attends you and cares about your situation. The advice is relentless, and there is follow-up on the issues, something that many times in other places comes to nothing. The administrative part is very clear and simple.'
- 'From the partners to the junior lawyers they are available to give you an answer. A solution is always sought, and if they are not experts on the subject, they look internally for the solution.'
