The directory also ranked the firm in the following practice areas – Employment, Banking, Finance & Capital Markets, Real Estate & Construction and Privatisation and Projects.
Clients commended the firm by stating that “they give efficient legal services. I like the way they handle all legal matters assigned to them with a lot of passion, due diligence, and high standard services. They are exceptional in terms of hiring very competent personnel who ensure all legal matters are handled very well.”
Other clients remarked that “relative to other firms in the market, Oraro does an excellent job collaborating across practice disciplines. They seem to have smaller staffing on matters, which seems to allow for greater collaboration among their subject matter experts. This allows them to provide comprehensive expert support in a very expedient manner.”
