Azevedo Sette opens in Recife


Brazil’s Azevedo Sette Advogados has appointed a new partner who will be charged with heading the firm’s new office in Recife – the firm’s sixth office in the country.

Azevedo Sette promoted M&A and corporate lawyer Marcelo Padilha Cabral, 28, to the partnership, on 1 November – the same day as the Recife office officially opened.

The firm decided to branch out in response to demand in the north eastern areas of the country. “We expect to implement the same practice areas that have been successfully performed by our main offices, such as M&A, corporate, contracts and litigation,” Cabral explains.

The announcement comes shortly after the firm’s São Paulo branch moved into its new office in JK Iguatemi. The firm is also stationed in Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Goiânia, Rio de Janeiro and Vitória.
