I have worked with lawyers from around the world for similar legal opinions, from more than 40 countries. The four things I look for are: 1) understanding of the work to be carried out, 2) to be delivered on time, 3) quality of the legal work and last, but not least, 4) price. CROCE & Associés SA are exceptional in all four categories!
