Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘A firm with a team of highly experienced arbitrators. The firm works on the case with several lawyers, always having one or more lawyers who are thoroughly familiar with all the documents attached to the case. The coordination of the work and the definition of the arguments is always carried out by a senior partner, who is also close to the client. Since the lawyers know the case in great depth and prepare very diligently, their performance in hearings is well above the market average.’
- ‘André de Luizi Correia: Exceptional lawyer. He usually gets involved in cases in great depth and contributes greatly to defining theses and presenting good arguments to the Arbitration Court.'
