Cepeda Advogados was conceived by its founding partners in 2003 with a view to providing unique legal advice to clients. The firm set two permanent goals that have been exhaustively pursued from the firm’s first day: to make it differently and to do it better. To make it differently based on the in-depth knowledge of the industries and needs of our clients, associated with the qualification and expertise of our lawyers. This allows us to propose unique legal solutions. To do it better in a relentless strive for service excellence, providing clients with more efficient services both in substance and time responsiveness. With over 15 years of activities, the firm has consolidated as a benchmark in legal advice to the various players of the Asset Management and Private Equity industries in Brazil. In this period, the firm put together a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience and qualifications, who are recognized by the key domestic and international rankings. This has allowed the firm to expand its practice areas into Wealth and Estate Planning (including Family Law and Real Estate Law), Corporate Law and M&A, Strategic Litigation and Tax Law. The firm has also established a hands-on culture in which all partners are fully dedicated to dealing with clients needs and conducting all matters to completion. As such, we honor the commitment assumed with clients to maintain a boutique firm profile. Retaining highly qualified professionals is also an essential component of the culture of the firm, stimulated to achieve an in-depth knowledge of the industries and needs of the clients of the firm, working together and under the coordination of the partners to exceed client expectations. We have chosen to be a firm with well-defined practice niches. Determined to strive for service excellence. So that we can deliver thorough and highly sophisticated legal solutions to our clients from each such niche in their own time.
