‘The best qualities I have found working with the Baker McKenzie team have been the closeness, the way of collaboration, and the attention to detail.'
‘They provide legal solutions that are appropriate to the complexity of each situation. I was particularly surprised by the team's expertise in remuneration schemes; they really understood and delved into our complex variable remuneration system. Their technical expertise and negotiating skills facilitated the achievement of agreements in very complex collective bargaining environments. They have also demonstrated extraordinary availability and first-class agility in responding to our concerns within very short time frames.’
‘José Prieto is a great negotiator, an excellent lawyer, and has great confidence in very complex negotiation situations, which facilitates the achievement of solutions in hostile environments.’
‘They stand out for their legal specialisation, experience, practical, broad, and technical knowledge, and their conflict resolution skills.’
‘Baker's team is highly trained and professional. They always keep clients up to date with all the training developments and their legal approach is rigorous and practical. I would also highlight their availability and versatility when dealing with the topics.’
