‘The Campbells team that provides corporate & legal services to Covalto is highly efficient and exceptional in its advisory and personalized service. The services provided by Campbells have enabled us to optimally operate a Cayman Islands holding company structure. We have worked with Campbells since setting up our Cayman Islands holding company in 2018 and have always been satisfied with the services provided. All of the company's legal services providers in Mexico are able to efficiently work with them to deliver best-in-class legal services to the company, holding Campbells in very high regard.’

Since taking over the account, Kate has proven to be an excellent counsel as she has consistently delivered superior legal services in a timely and efficient manner. We have been very happy to work with Kate and would recommend her to any company in the space looking for a Cayman Islands legal services provider.’
