Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Pedro da Quitéria Faria and Tiago Cochofel de Azevedo's ease of communication, profound knowledge, combined with constant availability and kindness, make the support not only effective but also truly humanised. It is rare to find professionals who combine technical competence with empathy and attention to the client so well.’
  • ‘Pedro Quitéria Faria always maintains availability and immediate follow-up on all issues raised. He is someone who perfectly masters all topics and always interacts with advice and presents solutions and/or ways to mitigate risks.'
  • ‘Proximity, support, and guidance towards solutions. Pedro Quitéria Faria is the perfect example of what a modern lawyer should be, with a simplified approach to the issues, a focus on solutions that highlight risks but always offer mitigating options. His specialisation in the aviation sector and, this year, his innovation in raising client awareness about artificial intelligence and the new regulations being implemented are noteworthy factors.'
  • ‘Excellent quality of services provided, quick response, in-depth knowledge and mastery of the subject matter, which conveys solid confidence in every interaction.’
  • ‘They often provide work ahead of any deadline. They keep us updated, and the advice is succinct and tailored to the client. They have worked with our clients, and we have received positive feedback for their work, so much so that we have moved away from using other firms in Portugal. Tiago Cochofel de Azevedo and Pedro da Quitéria Faria have been particularly brilliant with their assistance.’
  • ‘The professionals we have worked with have demonstrated full commitment to the company, along with consistently professional conduct, prioritising in-person or online meetings for in-depth discussions of the matters at hand. They thoroughly familiarise themselves with the issues in order to provide quick, well-structured and well-founded orientations, always respecting the company's decisions.’
