Banking and finance

"Area led by Ricardo Trejos provides swift response and personal approach to every matter. We feel deeply supported by their advice and in particular their honesty when dealing with complex matters. They are not afraid to highlight challenges and obstacles in the transactions and likewise they bring up creative solutions aiming to make projects successful."

"Experience and knowledge."

"Incredible product knowledge. Deep lawyer bench. Proactive and creative. Commercial and know-how to get a transaction closed."

"The law firm is composed of members with extensive experience in specific matters that enriches the thorough legal analysis that they perform from different perspectives (particularly, we worked with Ricardo Trejos, Sebastian Boada and Daniel Botero). Such members are directly involved and have worked hand in hand with us. This may be the best attribute, especially compared to other banking and finance teams (ie, the senior lawyers are directly and constantly involved)."

"They understand our needs and are very smart when negotiating with our debtors. Additionally, they already know our internal policies so working with them is very efficient."

"They are knowledgeable about the subject, proactive, quick to respond and integrate comparative law."
