Social Responsibility
Our ideal is to transform our values into a daily practice, and to this end, all members of the firm are dedicated to a series of measures that aim to advance our social actions.
We have an annual Pro Bono Lawyer quota where we provide legal services without fees, mainly to non-profit associations, vulnerable women and mentally and physically handicapped people.
We also assist Colucci Junior Legal Consulting, a non-profit junior law firm at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora Law School.
We help dozens of young lawyers at the beginning of their careers.
We are active in the “OAB goes to school” project, which aims to bring young students in elementary school closer to their rights and duties.
Such measures denote the firm’s unswerving duty to strive for the construction of a harmonious, fair and solidary community.
