Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The differential value of Ritch's lawyers lies in their highly versatile, technical and strategic vision. Unlike other firms that approach compliance and investigations from an approach limited to criminal or regulatory matters, the Ritch team integrates expertise in several key areas that intersect with corporate compliance, such as arbitration, data protection, anti-money laundering and financial law.'
- 'Sara Hardy brings an exceptionally well-rounded profile. Sara is certified as an external anti-money laundering auditor by the CNBV, making her one of the few lawyers in top-tier firms with such formal accreditation. In addition, her experience as a commercial and international arbitration lawyer allows her to approach investigations with a sophisticated legal and reputational perspective.'
