Presentation: Although the law firm Gonçalves, Arruda & Aragão – Sociedade de Advogados is only recently incorporated (May 2, 2007), the founding partners have in fact been working together successfully for many years - 25 years, on the average. The founding partners were initially associates at Pinheiro Neto Advogados, where they worked for some three decades, thereby achieving a uniformly excellent professional expertise and exposure to the most varied multinational clients and cases. The time came, however, when they decided to take on the challenge of setting up their own legal venture, GABS. Partners: Antonio Carlos Gonçalves, Mauro J. G. Arruda, João Guilherme Guimarães Gonçalves and Claus Nogueira Aragão. The organization of GABS is the result of the desire of its founding partners to continue to practice law based on the time-honored principle of hard team work that is both honest and competent, with one eye to the heavens and one to the future, confident of ever-increasing challenges. Based on the firm union of principles and values, fruit of proven professional experience anchored on unflinching seriousness of purpose, and boasting both stability and professional tradition, GABS is uniquely well positioned to, with full regard for professional ethics and strong emphasis on human relations, offer the highest quality services so as: To comply and achieve compliance with the Law, with all due respect for Brazilian institutions and authorities; To serve the clients well, enhancing their business dealings; To provide prompt solutions that are secure as well as creative, should this be necessary, for all matters referred to them; To always heed the cost/benefit ratio, making high-level work accessible in various legal segments, at a fair and reasonable market price; and To grow systematically in an orderly manner, so as to always be a reliable and high-quality option for legal services in Brazil, for both domestic and multinational clients, serving as consultants or litigation counsel.
