Val\u00e9rio, Figueiredo & Associados has just reinforced its presence in Northern Portugal by opening a new office in Porto<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VFA office in the “Invicta city” will be led by lawyer Carlos Vasconcelos<\/a><\/strong>, who is now joining the firm\u2019s partnership. The new office will operate as a full-service firm, with a special focus on health law, encompassing public health, medical law, and healthcare provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Vasconcelos, VFA\u2019s newest partner, brings over 20 years of professional experience in litigation and advisory services to businesses and individuals. His strong involvement in professional associations is also noteworthy, having served as Secretary Board Member of the Porto District Council of the Portuguese Bar Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the firm\u2019s Managing Partner, Paulo Val\u00e9rio<\/a>, this development represents \u201cthe culmination of many years of mutual respect and trust, allowing the natural integration of a highly skilled lawyer like Carlos Vasconcelos. Under his leadership, this marks a significant step forward in VFA\u2019s geographic coverage and the range of services offered to its clients.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Carlos Vasconcelos, joining VFA is \u201can honour and an added responsibility. It represents an exciting project and a demanding challenge, which must always be grounded in a solid relationship of trust with VFA\u2019s clients.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its focus on health law, VFA Porto will provide advisory services across a wide range of areas, leveraging the integrated work of the firm\u2019s departments and a network of offices that, alongside Lisbon and Coimbra, now covers the entire country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the opening of its office in Porto, VFA strengthens its presence in Northern Portugal","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[149,150],"class_list":["post-1702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media","tag-carlos-vasconcelos-en","tag-health-law"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nVFA opens in Porto and welcomes Carlos Vasconcelos -
