Initial and Ongoing Training

We consider it is essential to pursue at all times a policy of maximization of our lawyers’ potential, by means of an annual in-house training plan and by providing complementary support for the attendance of external training sessions.
 
For the purpose of the implementation of the annual in-house training plan, we value the participation of associates and trainee-lawyers, as well as their active collaboration in the organisation and promotion of training events.
 
By implementing a rotating training scheme, the Firm provides initial training in a working environment, adapting trainee lawyers’ academic knowledge to the Firm’s modus operandi.
