Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The firm is very hands-on at every level, which is a key differentiator for us. Senior people are involved throughout a transaction but also allow younger members to work through issues and due diligence. This creates a streamlined process. Another element which I like is that the form is very pro-business.’
‘Eduardo Villanueva is always involved from beginning to end. This makes a huge difference to solve issues and keep the ball moving forward. Very business-oriented.’
