Presentation: Since its foundation in 1992, our Firm has grown consistently and achieved prominence as one of the leading law firms in Brazil. Our Firm’s solid expansion over the years has been directly related to ongoing investments in training and infrastructure, the hiring of highly qualified professionals and the broadening of our Firm’s geographic reach. At present, our Firm has over 250 professionals based in key cities in Brazil. In addition to our headquarters in São Paulo, we have offices in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and New York. We also have a network of correspondents located in the remaining Brazilian states, which ensures competent assistance in the handling of local matters. Our office facilities are amongst the most modern in Brazil, taking advantage of cutting-edge technology and bringing together all of the operating resources that are essential to the execution of our clients’ assignments. At the international level, our Firm has established significant relationships with law firms located in the world’s most important financial centers. Our Firm is also a member of Multilaw, an association of independent law firms with a presence in 45 countries, thereby enabling us to provide our clients with the highest quality legal counseling worldwide. At the end of 2006 we celebrated a partnership agreement with the leading Portuguese firm Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva, in the areas of corporate law, M&A and capital markets. Thus, we will continue to render high quality of service to clients of both firms, in Brazil and Portugal. Tapping into the growth of the Chinese market, we have created a “China Desk”, consisting of a team of professionals who are well equipped to support clients on commercial missions to China and to handle negotiations with Chinese corporations.
