Teamwork is extremely important; debate and the horizontal free exchange of views among the team members involved in the case are encouraged so that ideas flow naturally in the design and efficient execution of an appropriate procedural strategy. With this approach, we try to strike an appropriate balance between legal science and practice.

OUR VALUES
HONESTY
We practice our profession in courts of law and arbitration tribunals with the force of reason and the law to assist the clients we represent. Furthermore, we only undertake to represent our clients following an analysis of the merits of their case.
DEDICATION
A characteristic of our firm is the intensity and persistence that we bring to our work. We stand by all clients who have a just claim, and devote ourselves fully to every case entrusted to us.
LOYALTY
To the client, to our respected opponent, to the judge and to the arbitrator. Despite exercising our profession as lawyers in a prevailing climate of social crisis, one of our principles is to carry out our work in a dignified manner, constantly seeking to reassess and improve on our performance.
JUSTICE
We firmly believe that by practicing our profession in a responsible manner, we can help to make both judges and arbitrators aware that when resolving any particular case, they are also carrying out an important social role. Deciding a case – whether with a judgment or an award - is in itself not sufficient; the decision must be fair.
COMMITMENT
In our professional practice we face constant challenges owing to the complexity of the cases we deal with. Implicit in our commitment is that we constantly learn and develop personally.
PRO BONO WORK
Because we believe in the social role that all lawyers should fulfill, we devote part of our time to providing free legal advice in cases involving a large element of social justice, offering the same level of dedication, hard work and commitment that we do to all our other clients.
