  • ‘Linklaters has the particularity of providing comprehensive advice to the client, facilitating the relationship and minimising response times. Unlike other international firms, for Latam clients they provide a service in which the client does not have to deal with other teams, but they internally manage that and provide the complete solution. Response times are excellent and both legal and market knowledge is a plus.’

  • ‘Conrado Tenaglia has experience, market and strategic vision that are tremendously valuable. These are lawyers who provide creative solutions and alternatives in complex financing and issuances.’

  • ‘The Linklaters team is a highly specialised team in financial issues that also has many members who perfectly know the environment of countries like Argentina. They have many advantages over others that may also have financial legal knowledge but do not understand the dynamics of LATAM.’

  • ‘Partner Conrado Tenaglia has a very clear understanding of the environment in which companies operate in Argentina and that facilitates negotiations and carrying out due diligence processes. Furthermore, Conrado is a brilliant lawyer with innovative solutions and open to exploring various business alternatives. In addition, Conrado is always present and available when it is necessary to resolve any issue that could hinder the transaction.’
