COMPANY

VALUES

Having full client satisfaction as their main goal, they are willing to personalize as much as possible the work method, offering complementary services and listening to the clients’ opinion to achieve a continuous performance improvement.

With a strong multidisciplinary and international experience, they also have the support of lawyers and law firms, selected and highly qualified, in Portugal, Brazil and Cape Verde, aiming at offering a comprehensive service and with international projection, without neglecting the quality and personal assistance of the client.

The partners advocate for diversity, equality and non-discrimination, seeking to treat all colleagues, clients, partners and agents involved in the daily work with tolerance, respect and fairness.

The firm also undertakes its commitment: to the community, supporting projects and institutions of social solidarity by providing pro bono legal support and broadcasting them in its network; and to the planet, by promoting the use of recycled materials and the recycling of materials used, giving priority to non-polluting means of communication, striving for efficiency and the saving of water and energy.

MISSION

When choosing a lawyer it is important to have a professional who has deep knowledge of the subject and vast experience in the areas of practice, as only by linking theory to practice we can act with full confidence in the work and its outcomes.

On the other hand, the personal component is also important. Having the support of a lawyer who is available, committed and seeking the most innovative and appropriate solutions, however without creating false expectations to clients, is of utmost importance for maintaining the trust necessary to succeed.

We strive every day to be such type of professional, working daily to excel the clients’ expectations.

VISION

Pursuing their full satisfaction, they aim to foster and cultivate a solid and long-lasting relationship with clients, being their true and trustful partners in Portugal.

About me

I do not like people who are not proactive and complicate what is simple. I cannot stand wasting time. I hate intolerance and lack of character. I like to make plans and lists, details and a good challenge. I love traveling as much as I love returning home. Whenever I can, my house is full of family and friends, music, wine and extended meals.

About me

I am happier when: I travel, I discover a new restaurant, I go to a concert, I go to the movies or I go to a museum. The unforgettable moments are those I spend with my family and friends. I love going out, but I can spend hours at home in front of the TV doing nothing. Always attentive to detail and fond of watches, I hate being late for appointments. I cannot bear injustice and lack of respect. My main goal is to enjoy the present as much as I can. Friends consider me: loyal, fair and good confidant.

About me

I consider myself a person attentive to detail and interested in knowledge. So, above all, I like to travel, to start structuring a trip, and then getting lost in the cities, forget the maps and get to know the most genuine people and places. I am a fan of movies, books and in a general way, walking or just being on a terrace and enjoying the outdoors. I like to be able to combine the pace that cities provide with the tranquility that the countryside offers – and that is sometimes my destination of choice.

The characteristics I most point out about someone are their dedication and honesty.
