Cuatrecasas fields an ‘excellent’ team, highlighted by clients for its ‘high technical competence’. The practice, which is continuously expanding, excels in a diverse range of matters, including corporate and M&A, public law, dispute resolution, tax, employment and data protection. At the helm sits Vasco Moura Ramos, who is an expert in public and administrative law. The ‘diligent’ Samantha Cyrne focuses on commercial and M&A matters, cross-border investments and real estate transactions, while Alexandra Sequeira specialises in employment and social security law, and is regularly involved in disciplinary proceedings. Dispute resolution is a core specialism for Mónica Azevedo.

Cuatrecasas‘s ‘competent and rigorous’ team showcases deep proficiency in administrative litigation, banking resolution, and regulatory matters.
