VCA has once again been ranked in the Legal 500 EMEA guide for Dispute Resolution in Portugal.
This year, the recognition extends further than ever — with five VCA lawyers individually named, and the firm awarded the Client Satisfaction NPS® accolade for the quality of the experience it delivers to clients.
Legal 500 is one of the world’s most respected independent legal directories, with rankings built on extensive research and direct client feedback. Being listed is not a formality — it reflects a sustained standard of work that clients and peers are willing to put their name to.
This year’s profile names João Valadas Coriel, Hugo Martins Braz and Vera Chalaça as Practice Heads, with Rita Cortes Maia and Alexandre Gil recognised as Other Key Lawyers. That breadth of recognition matters. It reflects what VCA has always believed: that exceptional legal work is never the product of one person, but of a team that thinks, challenges and delivers together.
The client testimonials collated by Legal 500’s independent research team speak to something beyond technical competence. Clients highlight the firm’s collaborative culture, its ability to combine strategic thinking with personalised attention, and an approach that is described as both rigorous and human. The Client Satisfaction NPS® accolade reinforces what those words already say — that clients don’t just respect VCA, they recommend it.
For a firm of VCA’s size, this kind of recognition carries particular weight. It confirms that depth of expertise and quality of client care are not the preserve of large practices — and that a team built on trust, creativity and genuine commitment can hold its own in any company.
