  • ‘Hogan Lovells has been instrumental in the growth of our company. It has accompanied us in more than 20 M&A transactions. It goes without saying that we have never had any problems because his work has always been impeccable. They have protected our company while helping us close many transactions with great flexibility. They are always able to find a solution acceptable to all parties.’
  • ‘Jorge Diaz Silveira is a great negotiator, tough on problems and soft on people. He always gets results. José Valdivia III is a very capable and intelligent lawyer. One associate in particular has caught my eye. Pedro Martínez, works tirelessly without compromising quality. Excellent team. They understand the region and are just as capable in the US as Ecuador, Peru or Jamaica, just to name a few of the jurisdictions where we have used them.’
