Analysis: In 2022, one of this firm's name partners departed the outfit, resulting in a rebranding. Now operating as Abe Advogados, this firm is the result of the 2019 integration of a transactional firm and a private wealth boutique. Corporate, tax and litigation are key practice areas here, while the team also handles arbitration, labour and real estate law matters. Clients have noted the commitment, knowledge and client-orientated approach as just some of the key qualities of this firm. Notably, the firm has a Japan desk, which has attracted a growing share of work from Asia and clients such as NYK Line, Fujitsu General, Mitsui Group, Marubeni, Honda and Sony. Among other recent work, the firm advised online pet retailer DogHero on its merger with counterpart Petlove.
