The Legal500 quotes the following client testimonials:

• The common qualities of this team are being quick and effective in solving  different tasks, finding the most suitable solutions and above all a very high commitment to clients’ needs.‘
• It is a team whose main characteristic is flexibility and speed in dealing with issues, with an excellent degree of involvement in the outcome. Due to its performance and commitment, I find far above the teams of other firms.
• They become personally involved in the issues that are presented to them, taking them as their own, with very personalised attention and great knowledge of different legal matters – a great team.
• I have worked with other firms of the same level but this firm’s level of delivery of information and participation goes beyond what is expected. In fact, we worked with them because they were recommended by owners of the most relevant companies in Chile. If I must indicate what stands out, it is their unconditional commitment.
• The Abdala y Cia practice is a 24/7 teamand always ready to respond at any time (even when on vacation). What characterises them is their degree of commitment to both the client and to reaching the best result during negotiations.
• Clear teamwork is evident between the different lawyers that make up the firm, providing an efficient and timely response to the client. They are proactive professionals within the framework of the legal dynamism that currently prevails in the region.
• Ricardo Abdala Hirane has a unique ability to develop strategies and to read opponents. He is always present and concerned about not leaving loose ends, so as to have the best preparation for negotiations, even when complex and hostile.
• José Ignacio Arteaga and Andrea Abdala Ready are at the client’s disposal at all times, using different technological tools to support the company’s daily decisions. They know and understand the problems, offering solutions that can be put into practice, minimising the exposure of the company.‘
