Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Arancha Bengoechea is brilliant and creative, and José Miguel López stands out for his solidity and deep knowledge of the topics. Both also have an outstanding knowledge of their respective areas.’
‘The team is very familiar with the environment of the public sector, including its strengths and weaknesses. This allows them to fully meet the needs that arise. It is worth highlighting their ability to anticipate any needs that may arise. Their work is always delivered on the agreed date and, if possible, ahead of time (in many cases these deadlines are very tight and not easy to meet) and with excellent quality.’
‘The way they treat us is very professional, but at the same time very friendly. I would like to highlight José Miguel López, an excellent professional with a 10/10 approach. It is a luxury to work with him.’
‘José Vicente Morote is the reference person with professionalism and empathy with the client worthy of mention. A very friendly person who offers constant follow-up and feedback to each of the clients.’
‘This is a firm where the quality of the legal team is very high and highly specialised. Clients have the right professional assigned to each matter. In addition to this, José Vicente Morote is aware of all the matters and clients are assured that he is present at all important meetings with the opposing parties and the administrations involved.’
‘It is a team with a presence in various regions which allows clients to also have specialists in different areas and makes the work easier. It is the best public law team we have worked with for many years. They have very good communication, inform the client of legislative developments and alert the client of possible incidents in the business.’
