About us.
Vaz de Almeida Advogados has been recognized for the 9th time as one of the«Most Admired Law Firms in Brazil by Major Companies». This accolade is part of the «Análise Advocacia» 2025, launched on Thursday, November 28, at the Hotel Nacional Inn Jaraguá in São Paulo.
Widely regarded as the most comprehensive and significant survey of the Brazilian legal market, the editorial project Análise Advocacia is an initiative of Análise Editorial.
According to the publisher, only legal heads, CEOs, and CFOs from Brazil’s 2,000 largest companies and financial institutions by revenue are invited to participate in the survey. Respondents are asked to spontaneously name the law firms they most admire, the practice areas in which those firms excel, and their preferred lawyers — regardless of whether they are currently clients. The result is a unique panorama showcasing the most admired law firms and lawyers in the market and the areas of law in which they stand out.
With this latest recognition in the 2025 edition, Vaz de Almeida now holds a total of nine nominations.
The survey also highlights individual lawyers, and Vaz de Almeida is well represented in this regard. Lawyers Amanda Pesciutti Duarte (Corporate and Business Legal Support) and Julhi Almiron Bonespírito (Dispute Prevention and Resolution) are included among the «Most Admired Lawyers in Brazil.» Notably, this marks Amanda’s third time receiving this recognition.
Automotive Sector; São Paulo State
The 2025 edition of «Análise Advocacia ― The Most Admired Law Firms and Lawyers in Brazil by Major Companies» also acknowledges Vaz de Almeida Advogados for its outstanding international expertise in serving the Automotive and Auto Parts sector. A significant portion of the firm’s clients are tier 2 companies headquartered in countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the United States, and Japan.
Análise Editorial further ranked Vaz de Almeida among the «Most Admired Law Firms in São Paulo State,» distinguishing it as a «boutique firm», due to its technical excellence, highly personalized client approach, and specialized practice areas.
About the Yearbook’s Reputation
According to Alexandre Secco, editorial partner, and advisor for the yearbook, «The publication does not aim to directly assess the technical quality of legal services in the country — nor would it have the capacity to do so». «Instead, what we strive to achieve, and what we do with unquestionable quality, is to list the most admired law firms and lawyers from the perspective of those who truly have something to say: the clients.»
Silvana Quaglio, CEO and publisher, and Ligia Donatelli, project manager, note that «The purpose of the publication is essentially to assist the corporate market, which increasingly seeks greater objectivity in the process of hiring high-quality law firms.» They also emphasize that «a significant number of companies have adopted the yearbook as a key reference in their selection processes.»
Alexandre Raciskas, the project’s commercial director, acknowledges that while there are many excellent lawyers among those listed as «Most Admired», in Análise Advocacia, there are also outstanding professionals who have yet to be identified and mapped by the yearbook. He emphasizes that the survey is inherently selective, as it exclusively consults the 2,000 largest companies by net revenue or net worth (for financial institutions) operating in Brazil. This focus reflects the corporate law ecosystem, which is particularly competitive and concentrated in the country’s major metropolitan areas.
Artwork
The accompanying image, «Men at Work» is an oil-on-canvas painting by post-impressionist David R. Buchanan (1914–1999) of the Hornsey College of Art. Without an official title given by its creator, this light yet expressive piece, completed in 1930, portrays the everyday life of street workers in London, the artist’s hometown.
