THE FIRM
Values
The firm has been conceived based on the combination of several premises: ethics, mitigation of impersonality and appreciation of the human relationship with the client, relentless pursuit of excellence in the provision of services, personal and professional growth and love for legal practice. Yes, we are passionate about what we do.
In addition to such premises, the key factor which unites us and defines us is the understanding that the success of our law firm, our city, our country, of the society and, at last but not least, to conquer this better world that we all say that we seek for and fight for, depends on affirmative and assertive conducts of general interest. Therefore, our relationships and statements will always be made in the first-person plural: WE.
Mission
We believe that the way to be recognized in the profession we chose is by means of full involvement with the client: knowing it well, understanding its characteristics and needs, pursuing constant qualification to provide better services and advice, creating a bond of partnership and trust, and actively and cooperatively participating in its activities and decisions.
