Testimonials
‘There are two factors that make this practice different: the easy, direct, simple relationship with each professional in the firm whenever it is required; and its ability to function as a team of professionals — It is not a single opinion that is obtained but several of them.’
‘All professionals are close and empathetic, and that closeness and empathy make matters flow quickly. There is no exhaustion in the formulation of the situation, the problem is addressed almost immediately.’
‘The team is very strong and responsive. Lawyers are very diligent and really understood our concerns and goals in the litigation. They were tough but never crossed the line with counterparties; I think that is what ultimately led to our successful result, which in Colombia is more of an uncertainty for foreigners.’
‘Juan Felipe Roldán has a solid background, a global perspective and is always thinking ahead.’
‘Our litigation experience was one of the most difficult things we went through while doing business in Colombia, and Juan Felipe Roldán did such excellent job for us that, honestly, we would not trust anyone else to handle these types of matters for us in the future.’
