About Us

The
Firm

A legal boutique founded on the conviction that the best advocacy is born from trust, confidentiality and the closeness between lawyer and client.

Identity

The Firm

Built on values that stand the test of time.

Alves Mendes & Carlos Picoito is a law firm founded by professionals with distinguished careers in Private Foundations, Corporate and Banking Law. The firm was created with a clear purpose: to provide excellent legal advice to a select circle of clients who value discretion, independence and technical soundness.

The firm collaborates with leading offices in Spain, Brazil and Mexico, ensuring international coverage without losing the boutique dimension that defines us.

Values

Our principles

A culture built on non-negotiable values.

01
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the foundation of every client relationship. We serve foundations and families that demand — and deserve — the strictest professional secrecy.
02
Independence
We provide advice free from conflicts of interest. Our independence guarantees that the client’s interests are always our sole compass.
03
Competence
We continuously invest in technical knowledge and specialisation, to respond with rigour to the most complex issues.
04
Honesty
We tell clients what they need to know, not what they want to hear. Transparency is the foundation of any lasting relationship.
05
Loyalty
We treat our clients’ interests as our own. Loyalty is not an attitude — it is a deontological obligation we take seriously.

“A Advocacia é, above all, an act of service.”

Small in structure.
Outstanding in response.

We are a legal boutique. That means every client has direct access to the partner, responses are swift, and confidentiality is absolute. What large firms cannot guarantee — we can.
