Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Roca is above all a practical and client-friendly firm, with a highly professional team in each practice.’
  • ‘The team we work with provides solutions to any situation we pose to them. The execution of the solutions/consultations is carried out in an agile manner, even by speaking with people other than the internal legal team, if required. We highly value the firm's practice in all matters related to international entities.’
  • ‘Regarding the team, it is a group of people with whom we have been collaborating for years to our full satisfaction, with the ability to quickly identify our needs, giving satisfactory answers. The team also has the advantage of providing a global response to a wide range of services and needs that goes beyond commercial law.’
  • ‘In many cases, we have developed a relationship that transcends the purely professional sphere. I would like to highlight Santi Pagés.'
  • ‘They have a very balanced team and we always feel supported no matter who is on the team that handles our issues.’
  • ‘What we like most about working with the Roca Junyent team is that they work with us as if they were part of our company, helping us to always make decisions from the most practical point of view. They always put on the cap of the entrepreneur. Lourdes Amigó and Santi Pagés are particularly noteworthy.’
  • ‘Closeness and empathy. At all times it was clear that the team was working in the same direction and that the team was synchronised between our company and the lawyers. In addition, the closeness at all times created confidence to be able to express situations or options in a frank and understandable way. This created peace of mind and confidence.'
