- In our opinion, the firm's main differentiator lies in the strength of its International Tax and M&A teams, especially their ability to coordinate complex matters with a multidisciplinary and multijurisdictional approach. This combination of technical depth, practical judgment, and excellent team coordination sets them apart from other competitors. In International Tax, I would highlight Pablo Fernández for his technical expertise and his ability to identify international details and risks with a level of depth not always seen at other Big Four firms. I would also mention Vicente Chau as a lawyer with great potential, excellent technical skills, and sound judgment. In the M&A team, I would highlight Cristian Sepúlveda for his exceptional ability to coordinate teams from different areas and jurisdictions, and for his capacity to find intelligent, practical, and effective solutions to complex matters. His main strength is precisely this ability to bridge specialties and countries, which adds significant value for the client. Overall, I would say that its best qualities are technical quality, team coordination, international perspective, and the ability to deliver concrete and well-grounded solutions to the client's needs.
- What makes this practice unique is its ability to operate as a truly international team, with very solid and efficient multi-jurisdictional coordination—something that sets it apart even from other Big Four firms. One of its main strengths is that it assigns each matter to the most suitable team based on the required expertise, prioritising technical quality and specialisation over commercial or relationship considerations. As a client, this translates into more precise, practical, and well-focused advice. Clients also particularly value its ability to coordinate between offices and specialists in different jurisdictions, which greatly facilitates the handling of complex and international matters. They compare favourably with other firms precisely because of this combination of global reach, good internal organisation, and a focus on assigning the right people to each case.
