Linklaters

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The Linklaters team in Spain demonstrated an extraordinary ability to structure highly complex contracts within very tight deadlines. Under the leadership of Santiago Alfonsetti, they successfully designed and negotiated all the platform's main contracts. They did so under intense time pressure and with multiple counterparties, ensuring legal consistency across a patchwork of documents that later proved essential for the sale.'
• ‘Santiago Alfonsetti stands out for his work ethic and comprehensive vision of the transaction: he combines technical detail with the ability to maintain a global perspective on the deal, something fundamental when the team's resources were limited. His determination and personal commitment are also noteworthy, allowing him to successfully navigate long and technically complex negotiations with composure and consistency.

They operate efficiently and systematically, adapting to unexpected challenges in transactions, offering business solutions, and always demonstrating flexibility and availability.’
