“The experience [of working with them] is unbeatable – both at a personal and professional level. The big law firms have lost ground by delegating important cases and clients to junior associates – but at GH the partner is always there. This distinguishes them, and it makes them special and unique.”

“A Firm with great quality, quite versatile. I would recommend them undoubtedly.”

Juan Pablo Godoy Fajardo co-leads the department and remains highly regarded by interviewees. One particularly rates him for his “extensive knowledge of the tax area,” adding: “He always looks for practical solutions that consider the commercial point of view,” adding: “His work is very impressive.” Another client says: “He is highly knowledgeable and proposes creative, practical and reliable ideas.”

“GH is an organized enterprise, with very competent lawyers. They provide ample experience in the handling of every case. Both the partners and the associates are open, easygoing, and unassuming – despite their awards. The partners are always available.”

“They are magnificent for a number of reasons: the partner is always involved, they retain their talented lawyers, their costs are reasonable, and they have immediate response capability.”

Up-and-coming lawyer Mónica Hernández is held in high regard by clients who recognise her as “a key person” handling their matters, noting that “she is often leading in our meetings.”Hernández routinely advises on tax implications of corporate transactions.

“For me, the best [legal] advisors that we have are those of Godoy – in fact, they are my benchmark firm.”

A client is quick to highlight the team’s “vast tax knowledge and experience.” The same client adds that “they give practical and pragmatic solutions and are very good at negotiating with the authorities, which is not easy.”

Sources praise GodoyHoyos as “a firm that is considerate of the client and delivers solutions that aren’t just theoretical, but executable for us.”
