Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The lawyers' knowledge of the financial sector and their regulatory and market updates are essential for providing sound advice. They have always stood out for being at the forefront and up-to-date.'

  • ‘From my perspective, Kuri Breña's lawyers are highly skilled in the financial and regulatory issues my company requires. They are always available to advise us on any urgent matters, and we always count on them to ensure that deliverables are submitted to the financial authorities in a timely manner, when applicable.'

  • 'They have extremely specialised knowledge. Miguel Vallejo always has the answer to any legal questions related to the matters at hand, and he always has a pro-deal attitude. José Casas is also an excellent professional; he always provides support in every way he can and ensures that deals are completed smoothly.'
  • 'The KSA team stands out for its extensive knowledge and experience in capital markets. We worked with them on a unique securitisation structure, and only a firm with KSA's experience in capital markets could have successfully implemented it. The team consistently provided legal improvements that enhanced the operational efficiency of the structure.'
  • 'KSA specialises in capital markets, so the firm's expertise was extremely relevant for an issue like the one we worked on with them, which was a first-of-its-kind in Latin America. The fact that the partners are constantly developing the associates and lawyers, building expertise and specialisation within the firm, was very important, as there was always someone who could address any issue we had. I would like to specifically mention Daniel Kuri Breña, Miguel Vallejo, and Daniel Hernandez.'
