FAS Advogados, in cooperation with CMS > Sao Paulo, Brazil > Firm Profile

‘The banking team at FAS Advogados provides an excellent service fully focused on the needs of each client. The innovation of the service provided is linked not only to the technical knowledge of the team, which is exceptional, but to the understanding of how to help in the daily life of the client and meet demands in an agile and precise way.’

‘Although the entire team is highly qualified, the following stand out: Vicente Piccoli M. Braga is a highly available team leader, technically qualified and concerned with providing a differentiated and personalised service.’

‘FAS has a different culture than traditional law firms and this translates into more engagement on the part of male and female lawyers, regardless of their seniority level. In addition to being very committed to responsiveness and quality, the team that assists us always has a smile on their face. Partners are open to proposing alternative fee structures that meet the needs of their clients and are flexible in adhering to the communication channels, in order to optimise communication between the in-house team and the firm.’
