  • 'At Carrillo y Asociados we have found a group of high-calibre people who think strategically, who help us grow and give us peace of mind. I would not work with another firm for important projects. Their strengths are their ability to understand the client as an individual and as a group, to teach and lead to an understanding of the subject at a deep level, and guide the client through the process. At the same time, the technical analysis that has been provided to us is detailed and complete. At other firms I have found they can deliver execution at a technical level, but not the strategic scope that the Carrillo y Asociados team has.'
