With a technically sophisticated approach, the firm combines the strength of a full-service firm with the depth of a highly specialized team in the real estate sector. In the projects we have worked on together, the team has demonstrated technical excellence, absolute mastery of legal structuring, and a remarkable ability to anticipate risks and align with business objectives—essential characteristics in the context of significant real estate transactions.'

• 'José Paulo Marzagão plays an absolutely pivotal role. His expertise combines: deep technical solidity, especially in areas such as structuring atypical contracts, risk management in SLB, and document governance; ability to mediate and advance complex negotiations, with a calm, strategic approach, always focused on creating viable solutions; and a proactive, detail-oriented, and delivery-oriented work style, which adds real value to the client and the project as a whole. José Paulo is, without a doubt, one of the most well-rounded professionals I've had the opportunity to work with in the real estate industry.
