Machado Associados is a business law firm that has recently celebrated its 30-year anniversary. The firm has strong capabilities across the whole spectrum of tax advice. Its excellence in the tax segment was extended to other practice areas, which enjoy equal recognition and reputation. The firm serves domestic and multinational clients of all sizes and from different economic sectors.
Machado Associados' founding partners believe that the provision of legal services is strategic and requires unconditional dedication, continuous education and unrestricted respect of ethics. Developing safer solutions in an environment surrounded by legal insecurity is the challenge that the firm posed and continues to endure.
The firm’s mission is to help clients grow, optimise resources and seek creative alternatives for complex problems in a dynamic and competitive business environment.
In addition to law, many of the firm’s professionals have degrees in economics, accounting and business administration and experience in big four accounting firms.
