Vision

A utilidade do exercício da Advocacia e o valor acrescentado dos serviços jurídicos está na resposta pronta, na antecipação dos problemas, na prevenção dos riscos, na utilidade do aconselhamento, na minimização dos danos, na proactividade dos conselhos, na qualidade do patrocínio e na efectividade da defesa.

O trabalho ou a actividade de um Advogado ou de uma Advogada é também uma tarefa difícil e complexa, não apenas jurídica, mas de visão, de estratégia e de gestão, sempre rica, inovadora, aliciante, única e irrepetível, porque geradora de mais-valias significativas ou minimizadora de riscos não negligenciáveis.

O exercício da Advocacia é bem mais do que uma simples e formal prestação de um serviço jurídico, tradicional, concreto, estanque e pronto a entregar ou a prestação de serviços simples, isolados, cegos, assépticos, pré-preparados, repetíveis, ocasionais e autonomizáveis.

Providing Legal Services

Providing legal services is not a mere provision of services, a commercial or self-interested act. It is more, much more than that.

The acts practiced by lawyers are useful and generate utility far beyond the strictly economic value. A person´s individual right of freedom, property rights, honour, principles of fairness and justice and values are a permanent concern to us.

The added value of our services lies within our prompt response, anticipation of problems, risk prevention and the usefulness of our advice as well as the quality of our assistance and the effectiveness of our defence.

Principles and Values

The legal profession is a profession of social interest. It is an indispensable and highly personal activity and the lawyer’s intervention goes beyond defending of personal interests, but equally he cannot possibly disregard them. There is a demand for a special relationship between a lawyer and his client, that relationship is one of confidentiality, trust, comfort and proximity. This is the ultimate reason for the existence of this noble profession.

The lawyer is an independent professional. He uses the enacted legislation and the law as his tools of trade in order to achieve his clients’ legitimate and fair claims. Regardless of the difficulty of the case and obstacles and the costs involved in study and research and preparation and complete monitoring of the proceedings.

We do not compromise and we never give up.
