We have, for several years, been assisting banks and multilateral institutions in investment and infrastructure projects finance in Portuguese-speaking countries, in particular in Angola.

The team is composed of a set of young professionals with a vast experience in assisting complex financial transactions, with a strong multi-jurisdictional rationale, total dedication and with great capacity to bring an added value to the transactions in which they participate.

Acknowledgement
