About us
At JBA Advogados, we combine in-depth knowledge of Angola with international experience and a way of working built around close relationships with our clients. We are a new firm founded on the experience of a team that has worked together for several years and knows its clients, their businesses and the industries in which they operate.
Our values reflect the way we approach the practice of law and build lasting relationships with our clients, our people and the communities in which we operate.
Proximity
We believe that knowing our clients is essential to advising them effectively. We seek to understand their businesses, their challenges and the sectors in which they operate, building close, accessible and long-term relationships. Rather than simply responding to legal issues, we aim to understand the context in which decisions are made and anticipate our clients’ needs.
Knowledge
Knowledge of the Angolan market lies at the heart of our value proposition. Our team brings together local lawyers and professionals with experience across different jurisdictions, combining in-depth knowledge of Angolan law with a strong understanding of the country’s economic, regulatory and business environment. This experience enables us to turn legal knowledge into practical solutions tailored to each client’s circumstances.
Excellence
We are committed to the highest standards of quality, rigour and technical expertise. Our aim is to provide every client with consistent, pragmatic and results-oriented legal advice, regardless of the size or complexity of the matter. The international experience of our team and its exposure to different markets and legal systems further strengthen this culture of excellence.
International Perspective
Angola is our market, while the world is the context in which many of our clients operate. As a member of Abreu International, we combine local presence and knowledge with access to international teams and capabilities, enabling us to advise on transactions and projects spanning different markets and jurisdictions. Our cultural and linguistic proximity to Portugal, together with the team’s experience across different jurisdictions, allows us to operate naturally at the intersection of local and international matters.
Commitment to Angola
JBA Advogados was established with a long-term vision for Angola. We aim to grow alongside our clients, contribute to the development of the Angolan legal market and play an active role in the country’s economic and business development. We invest in our people, in the development of local talent and in building a firm equipped to support Angola’s opportunities and challenges in the years ahead.
