Their service is also quite personalised and they attend to us without a problem during and after working hours.’
‘There are several aspects that make them stand out. They have specialists in various practice areas and I can say with certainty that their partners and associates are fully trained to handle any matter that comes their way. Ponte Andrade & Casanova offers an in-depth and personalised service, which, based on our previous experiences, is not usually the case with other firms. Also, their response times are fast. Another point that is worth noting is that the fees have a good relationship with the value that the firm adds and, in addition, they adapt to what we really need, which is difficult to find in other firms.'
