‘Fundamentally, their great responsibility and ethics, both professional and human, stand out. The team has a great analytical and problem-solving capacity in any aspect that may arise during the development of any fixed-income transaction. The fact that the entire team works in unison and you can contact any lawyer in any situation, gives a lot of peace of mind and professionalism to the service provided.'
‘The human quality of the team added to the great commitment and excellent work that they constantly demonstrate in each of the mandates that we grant. I would especially like to highlight the work of Yolanda and Carlos in the Fixed Income area who, in addition to being brilliant professionals in their field with an exceptional track record that supports their professional ethics, have an innate proactivity to communicate and look after the interests of the client at all times, dedicating the necessary time. Finally, I consider that another great bastion of this magnificent firm is its integrity when making decisions, for the benefit of the good contractual relationship, as well as the brilliance that characterises all its results.'
'Carlos Perez Davila: happy to work on esoteric or unproven structures. Broad product knowledge, very commercial in application. A 'magic circle' lawyer at smaller firm rates.'
