The firm is able to effectively respond to clients across the spectrum of legal issues. The dynamic, yet informal, work environment of VCA has attracted several skilful lawyers from major law firms and the ‘big four’ audit firms. Alliances and ‘best friends’ agreements, allowed VCA to gather resources and expertise both in Portugal and in many other European, Middle-East, African, North and South American and Asian jurisdictions. Due to its commitment and activism, VCA was voted Member of the year 2018 by its peers at IR Global, a network of 900 plus firms across 155 jurisdictions. VCA’s concept remains unaltered: firm lawyers are “combat lawyers”. For VCA - now with four partners and 20 lawyers - each case is a project, a battle to be fought and won through shrewdness, strategy, setting specific and measurable targets, performing a cost-benefit analysis bearing in mind time constraints and focusing on client’s interests.
