Garrigues

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• The team is high-performing and includes highly qualified lawyers who provide cross-functional services to various parts of the company, from the legal department to other areas such as finance and HR. Communication is based on transparency and efficiency, and complex matters frequently involve multiple team members from different departments, thus preventing miscommunication and misinterpretation and ensuring consistent, transparent opinions at a single level of communication. A particularly positive and important aspect is that the legal team has been composed of the same group of lawyers for years, and there is no personal dependence on any one member because they all possess a level of knowledge about past cases (which may influence future actions or transactions) and are kept up-to-date on any relevant developments, even if they weren't directly involved. This streamlines the analysis and handling of any proposal and makes communication highly effective.
• Exceptional analytical and contextual awareness skills. Effective and efficient resolution of structured and unstructured problems. Ability to propose alternative solutions for any situation. Prompt resolution of inquiries. Knowledge of the company and its legacy. Immediate availability. Featured professionals: Arnau Tapias (exceptional empathy and client focus), Renata Mendaña, María Caño, Natalia Santos, Isabel Aranguren.
