The firm follows strict academic rigours with extremely high quality and ethical standards. This culture is common to all our partners and non-partners alike.

Following this philosophy, the firm has opted for gradual internal growth, intentionally distancing itself from the ‘mass’ law firms, to allow us to provide a first-class personalised service for the highly complex issues that require specialist attention.

Accordingly, we offer legal consultants who have expertise acquired through their wide-ranging experience in legal counselling and advocacy, as well as experience in public and business institutions, as can be seen from their curriculum vitae (See People).

Our close links with the academic world also enable the firm to call on a network of external consultant specialists, depending on the complexity of projects at hand in any given time, while maintaining a flexible permanent structure which is not overextended.

As well as promoting the firm’s reputation in Portugal through its involvement in the national stage with partners attending events (e.g. conferences, seminars, publications) and participating in independent regulatory authorities and various public institutions (the Court of Auditors, Constitutional Court, and the Public Debt Management Institute, among others) the firm is pursuing an active policy of internationalisation, mainly in conjunction with top-ranking British and German law firms.

This policy is also reflected in the presence of the firm’s activities in international peer-reviewed publications (See News and Events).
