Testimonials

‘Altra is directed by José Antonio Moreno Rodríguez, a professional with extensive experience in our environment and vast knowledge in the field. Over time, it has managed to form an excellent team combining youth and experience, mostly with training abroad, which allows us to provide an increasingly better service. We see great potential in the Altra team.‘

‘In our opinion, they have many contacts within the country that make them differential. Mr Moreno in particular is an excellent professional who evacuates our doubts, whether they are from his own area or from others.‘

‘Both José Moreno and Karin Kennedy give us a differential quality service, due to their willingness and speed to evacuate our doubts. There is great trust between my company and Altra, and that is associated with professional quality.‘

‘It is essential that lawyers have full knowledge of the particularities of the area in which the company they advise operates. That is to say, given the current situation, it is extremely important that they know not only the academic legal part but also the “other side of the counter”. At Altra, we find this particularity and use it to benefit our businesses.‘
