This relationship allows access to a platform with over 5,000 lawyers, in 90 offices and more than 40 countries.

This unique network ensures access to knowledge, best practices, and qualified information, which allows the firm to have in-depth knowledge of different sectors of the economy and company sizes. This results in a business-oriented approach to clients, seeking innovative and effective solutions. The result is high-quality legal advice and integrated solutions capable of meeting the needs of the most demanding market standards.

Its team is the truest representation of Campos Mello Advogados’ mission: a diverse, highly qualified, and experienced that works tirelessly to find the best solutions for its clients. The combination of personnel and unique knowledge is the main driver to CMA's growth and recognition as a firm of excellence in all industries where we have a presence. Currently, the associate-to-partner ratio of the firm is 3:1 – one of the lowest ratios in the market, which, as a benefit, enables leaders to participate in, and follow more closely, the execution of all work. In addition, a back-office support structure ensures modern, appropriate management processes, enhancing productivity and operational efficiency.
