Firm overview

Since 1919, the law offices of Azeredo Perdigão & Associados have offered uninterrupted legal services and are recommended by the most prestigious guides and international publications in the field (The Legal 500, IFLR 1000-The Guide to the World's Leading Financial Law Firms, The European Legal Experts, etc.).

Our law firm is intentionally structured as a "boutique" of jurists that prides itself on (i) its "obsession" with providing legal assistance to its clients that is governed by a concern for "Commitment to Excellency" and (ii) being specially oriented for clients who place "Personalised contact with their lawyer" as a priority in their dealings with a law firm. It is this concern for a quality legal service and the privileged proximity with the client that motivates and energises us, rather than the arithmetic logic of size.
