2 Abreu Advogados Brazilian Desk 2013 ABREU ADVOGADOS Who we are Abreu Advogados incorporated in 1993, boosted from 6 lawyers in 1993 to 165 lawyers, including 28 partners, in a total of 240 professionals, with offices in Lisbon, Porto, Madeira, and in Association with local Law Firms in Angola, Brazil, China (Macao), Mozambique and Timor-Leste. Our Mission Our mission is the ongoing improvement of the quality of the services we provide and the continuous effort to add value to our Clients at competitive fees and with controlled costs. We value our relationship with each one of our Clients and we put our very best into developing such relationship. Our pioneer and innovative philosophy ISO 9001:2008 Certification in all 3 offices: Lisbon (2001) Porto (2006) Madeira (2009) Document Management System Autonomy imanage Abreu Advogados was the first Portuguese law firm to install Autonomy imanage Worksite, a collaborative document management system. Autonomy imanage Worksite provides a single system that works within a multi-office environment and allows people to simultaneously work together on the same documents. Sustainability in Law A Abreu Advogados was the first Portuguese law firm and indeed the first entity in the Portuguese Legal Sector, to publish its Sustainability Report. The firm launched its second Sustainability Report in June Online versions of both are available on our website: 2

3 AB IN A FLASH PRACTICE AREAS AND INTERNATIONAL DESKS AT THE SERVICE OF THE CLIENTS AB INTERNATIONAL To better respond to client needs in a globalized world and to offer specialized and quality legal solutions, Abreu Advogados is increasing its presence in the Portuguese-speaking markets. With three offices in Portugal and International Partnership agreements in Angola (FBL Advogados), Mozambique (FRALAW), China/ Macau (C&C Advogados), Timor-Leste (Joint Venture with C&C Advogados) and Brazil (strategic partnerships with three local offices), we are a leading Law Firm that assists its clients at a national and international level. INTERNATIONAL DESKS PRACTICE AREAS At Abreu Advogados, we have 10 Practice Areas and 47 Working Groups, of a more specialized nature. Banking & Finance Law Competition, Regulatory and EU Law Corporate and Commercial Law Employment Law Intellectual Property and IT Law Litigation Public Law and Environment Law Real Estate Law Practice Area Sports Law Tax Law Angolan Brazilian Chinese Mozambican Timor-Leste ( * )

4 AB INTERNATIONAL Abreu International Legal Solutions Our innovative solutions wherever you need us Through its project of internationalization Abreu International - Legal Solutions, Abreu Advogados seeks to provide integrated legal services to its clients, tailored to meet their strategic needs in the Portuguese-speaking countries and markets. As a result, Abreu has established Associations with local prestigious law firms in Angola, China/Macao, Mozambique and Timor-Leste (in partnership), and has best-friend ties with local law firms in Brazil. By means of a common international strategy, the firm is able to provide to its clients the same level of service and quality standards in the referred jurisdictions. Each of Abreu s local Partner is acting under the same umbrella brand values, which identifies the quality standards applied by Abreu Advogados on its legal activity, but keeping their own identity. Therefore, in alternative to finding an Abreu office in each jurisdiction, the firm undertakes the compromise that its clients will receive the level of service they expect from Abreu, in the country where they have interests. International Desks Abreu Advogados Abreu Advogados has five international desks - Angolan, Brazilian, Chinese, Mozambican and Timor-Leste. Each Desk has a dedicated team with experience and know-how in these jurisdictions, and is typically led by two Partners (per Desk) who ensure an effective coordination with the offices in each one of these countries. Abreu s local Partners act as front offices, however the back office is based in Lisbon, assisted by the firm s International Desks. In addition, the firm has expatriates working in each country, contributing to this coordination, guaranteeing the quality standards of Abreu International Legal Solutions - a service of excellence, tailored to clients needs. 4

5 ABREU ADVOGADOS BRAZILIAN DESK Created within the scope of the firm s international growth strategy, the Brazilian Desk at Abreu Advogados counts on a dedicated team of professionals with experience and know-how in the Brazilian market, to provide Portuguese companies with all of the legal assistance necessary to establish and develop business activities in Brazil. The Firm also provides legal advice to Brazilian companies investing in Portugal (which acts as a gateway to European Union markets, with more than 500 million consumers). Additionally, Abreu Advogados has a resident team of Brazilian lawyers in its offices in Portugal, who have been admitted to the Bar Association in Portugal and Brazil. For more information on the Brazilian Desk of Abreu Advogados, please contact: brazil@abreuadvogados.com Partnership with Siqueira Castro Advogados, in Brazil In 2012, Abreu Advogados entered into a partnership with the largest Law Firm in Brazil, Siqueira Castro Advogados, to provide legal services to the Clients of both firms, with particular focus on the Angolan and Mozambican markets. The partnership is founded on common principles which are based on a culture of meritocracy, and on the expertise and qualifications of the teams in the main areas of business law, a professional management and technological innovation, along with an efficient pro bono policy. The common language and cultural affinity between the two countries makes the advantages of this partnership particularly relevant. 5
