The skilled team of Porfírio Azevedo Gomes Law Firm is well prepared to handle, in and out of court, the complex diversity of problems related to transactions and business in today’s world.

The law firm covers different practice areas with different teams working together as a team. Communication and mutual cooperation are encouraged so as to allow the expected goals to be achieved.

Different teams focus on different branches of the law but do not work in isolation. On the contrary, their activities are performed in an interconnected and interdependent manner. Thus, for instance, in trade transactions, work is governed not only by Commercial Law, but also by Tax, Administrative and Labor rules. Likewise, in a real estate transaction, the interested party must not be limited to this branch of Civil Law. It is imperative to consider the implications of Tax Law, the restrictions of Administrative Law (Urban Planning Law and Right to Build) and of Environmental Law and even the requirements of Family Law and Inheritance Law, given the constraints that may be imposed on property rights and property availability.

No matter what the subject matter or the practice area may be, the firm is fully qualified to draft, examine, review or assist in the negotiation of national and international contracts.

While in the modern world specialization is essential, the different specialized sectors do not operate independently, especially in the legal area.

In these cases, the firm deals with and provides legal advice on all matters related to corporate law, particularly in examining purchases and / or supply agreements, joint venture consortia, as well as tax and labor issues and possible litigation.
