Established in São Paulo in 1953, new offices were set up in Rio de Janeiro in 1974, and Brasília in 2001. We also have correspondent offices in all major Brazilian cities. In the international arena, sine 1980 we have had an associate office in Lisbon, Barros, Sobral, G. Gomes & Associados, establishing entry for our clients with interests in the European Union. Furthermore, as a member of the Bomchil Group, a network of Latin American law firms, we have associates in nearly all countries of Latin America, with whom we closely collaborate. In all that we do, in all our practice areas, we never lose sight of the business objectives of our clients. We always do our utmost to provide clear, objective and timely responses. Our philosophy is not to try to be all things to all people, but to achieve excellence in each of our practice areas. These areas have been carefully chosen to provide the scope to meet the principal needs of Brazilian and international businesses, while preserving the personal aspect of the attorney-client relationship which we feel is essential. Every case is assigned to one of our partners as the lead attorney, who depending on the scope of the matter supervises a multidisciplinary team of associate lawyers and support staff. Our overarching goal is to satisfy our clients by providing efficient as well as precise advice and representation, with no wasted effort.
