The American Directory, Best Lawyers, announced the inclusion of Cavaleiro & Associados Lawyer in the 9th Edition “The Best Lawyers in Portugal for work in: Energy Law. The ranking that annually distinguishes the best lawyers from different jurisdictions, based on the opinion and vote of the peers. João Quintela Cavaleiro thus became the only Lawyer not based in Lisbon to be distinguished in the area of ​​Energy Law.

Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based entirely on the evaluation by Lawyers. The methodology was designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of the leading Lawyers on the professional skills of their colleagues, within the same geographical area and area of ​​expertise. With a 431-member Advisory Board, 41 Corporate Counsels, located in more than 60 jurisdictions, Best Lawyers uses a sophisticated research process to extract substantial assessments of the quality of legal services. The quality of peer reviews is directly related to the quality of the set of voters. Fonte da Sociedade adds: “It is with satisfaction, a sense of duty fulfilled and even with some surprise that we receive this distinction, especially when we analyze the highlighted Lawyers and realize that the best in each area are highlighted. The first word goes to the entire Público & Energia team at Cavaleiro & Associados, with whom this distinction is shared. Only by holding hands can we take revenge in areas as challenging as water law, in the sector of natural gas, electricity, biofuels or even wind energy. ”

Of the 16 Lawyers distinguished in energy law, João Quintela Cavaleiro is the only Lawyer in the North of the country to be highlighted. Questioned, the company says: “analyzing the list of law firms that make up the ranking and knowing their qualities increases the feeling of satisfaction and responsibility. In addition to our customers, our Colleagues feel that in the operations we have been following, a job worthy of mention has been done ”. The international experience that Cavaleiro & Associados has maintained, but also the polarized presence in Northern Portugal with offices in Porto, Vila Real and Viseu shows that even in complex and traditionally more developed areas in Lisbon it is possible to make a difference, in this case recognized by a US-based Directory.
