Notable practitioners
Up-and-coming partner Ariela Ribeira Duarte is noted for her work on employer-side labour mandates, particularly where collective bargaining, litigation strategy and workforce governance intersect.
Ariela Ribera Duarte is, without a doubt, one of the most complete and distinguished professionals I have had the privilege of working with. What sets her apart from her peers in other firms is a rare combination of technical, behavioral and strategic skills that elevate her to an exceptional level.
Ariela Duarte is always assisting us in the best possible way, not limiting herself to the specific task at hand but being very holistic.
