  • ‘Their reputation precedes them and their work confirms them as leaders.'

  • ‘Conrado Tenaglia and Matt Poulter are extraordinary leaders and lawyers.'

  • ‘The team is always available and willing to address our requests within the suggested deadlines.’

  • ‘Matt Poulter and Marcelo Lopes are friendly and always trying to understand client's concerns for purposes of addressing issues with counterparties.’

  • ‘The Linklaters team has all the support of a global study and the strong point is the ability to understand the culture of our company.'

  • ‘Matthew Poulter has a deep back ground, training and experience.'

  • ‘I have always been a fan of Linklaters' capacity to coordinate multi-jurisditional matters without risking consistency/compromising the final product. This is certainly one of their main strengths. Everything seems to work in a very streamlined manner, and I think this is not necessarily true with all other Magic Circle/White Shoe firms. If you negotiate an SPA with Linklaters Milan, Hong Kong or Brazil, there are very high chances that they will also look/read very similarly.’

  • ‘Matthew Poulter is an important reference in the Brazilian legal landscape - he has been around for many years now, and some of the most relevant Brazilian companies with foreign law exposure work with him and his team frequently. I think the Brazilian team as a whole has a very important rapport with local law firms, with a softer touch/smoother treatment when it comes to dealing with complex US law matters, which frequently are very complex for local counsel/clients.’
