‘A high-level international relations firm that is active in a large number of countries.

The team provides leadership in terms of free trade zones; it is an authority in the free zone field.’

‘A very expert team for trade defence issues. The firm manages processes very comprehensively due to its internal resources — I did not need to hire outside professionals to handle any aspects of the renewal of anti-dumping measures. Although everything is included in the fees, the relevant issue is not savings, but that the management is absolutely coherent and co-ordinated.’

‘The firm includes expert lawyers, including partners who have very good relationships with all interested parties, as well as technicians for economic issues, etc. The team pushes perfectly; there was a lot of work we had to do on our side to meet their expectations and we always received feedback on what we needed to do.’

‘It is a holistic practice, not only the substantial, substantive, methodological and procedural issues are taken into account, which are fundamental for the construction of a strong case, but also the external factors that could affect the final decision are evaluated, such as those of a political nature.’

‘In addition to the team’s experience, deep knowledge of the issues and step-by-step and meticulous follow-up of the process, lawyers are always up to date on the matters they deal with and respond immediately to any requirement or need that arises.
