Specialties
editAs I recall, the list of specialties were taken from the Garrigues Web site. Anyway, there is no source cited for Garrigues being a general law firm. Do they do criminal law (robbery, burglary, etc.) and divorces? Thus I have reverted a recent change made by Mediterraneo. Yours sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
