WHO WE ARE
The problems of our Clients are not of other, are ours. AM- Almeida Monteiro & Associados emerged as a natural consequence of the route of its founding partners – Guadalupe Almeida and Mário Monteiro – of more than 30 years of experience in advocacy. The professional path individually developed by each of the founding partners in distinct preferential areas, made it possible to take into account that the union of both would promote an increase of synergies, which far exceed the simple addition of knowledge.
The responsibility for each one professional past, the respect from all the clients and the desire to serve well, are facts based on the individual history of each of the elements of AM- Almeida Monteiro & Associados and, therefore, guarantee that these principles will be vectors of the present and future.
The Client is our reason for existing, so his satisfaction is our priority. AM–Almeida Monteiro is based on a genetic need to contribute to the general welfare, which involves getting involved in civic responsibility initiatives and in promoting and facilitating access to the Law by those who, for the most varied reasons, are far from it, advocating a policy of providing pro bono services.
This support that identifies us, is not subsumed to the individual, but equally, to the institutions of social solidarity with whom, in some way, a motivating relationship is established for the intervention of the entire team that integrates AM-Almeida Monteiro, emphasizing that here, as in other activities, the requirements of professionalism and ethics will always remain unchanged, in order to contribute positively to the achievement of the desired end by these entities.
