Discreet counsel for founders, families and boards. New York and Lisbon, since 2009.
[ 01 — Approach ]
Most of what we do never makes the news. That is the point. We advise on the transactions, disputes and private matters where discretion is not a courtesy — it is the work.
[ Est. 2009 — New York · Lisbon ]
Three partners, a small bench of senior associates, and a firm rule: every matter is led by a partner from first call to close.
Meet the partners
[ 02 — Practice ]
