‘Excellent knowledge of local requirements and trends, with a good understanding of international practices and the standards of global companies.’
‘Ana Cristina Garita stands out for her attention to detail and excellent client service.’
‘Their knowledge of the client's line of business allows them to provide a personalised service.’
‘The work was excellent. At all times they were very professional. We had the opportunity to work with a diverse team that did labour, environmental, tax, IP and corporate law. Their service was diligent and they made us feel protected by their advice. They always advocated for the client and, when necessary, took a strong position with the other party. I would recommend their services to anyone interested in participating in an M&A transaction in Guatemala.’
‘Sandra Castillo was our point of contact. She coordinated the team internally and always paid attention to ensuring that the firm provided the best service. Other members of the team were Sheyla Vargas and Ana Cristina Garita. The team was very cordial and helped us understand the point of view of the Guatemalan executive and map the risks for a foreign investor. They were all very attentive and diligent.’
