IFLR1000 (Clients' testimonials): "Víctor Chiquero has led a magnificent team of lawyers at our service. Almost three years have passed and during this time, we have managed to multiply our sales and profits by ten. He has played a key role in this growth of the group in Spain. His services and his intervention have been decisive for us, both at the time of designing our procurement strategy, and in the execution of the same. Víctor has in-depth knowledge of Spanish and international legal regulations, has a magnificent team of exceptional lawyers who masterfully leads, and has a vast personal experience in the advice of multiple operations of great complexity. If I have to highlight something that I admire it is: his humility, his ability to work, his good sense, his honesty, his precision, his ability to respond in real time, his instinct to 'read the game' and to adapt perfectly to the circumstances of the negotiation - all without losing sight of the objectives set, in order to get the deal under optimal conditions."
