About

‘The biggest achievement of my career is to feel, on a day-to-day basis that my colleagues from other areas of the bank, as well as board members ask for my opinion and take it seriously into account’. During his 15 years at Haitong Bank, Filipe Hasse Ferreira has become an indispensable part of the company. A business-minded professional with significant experience in banking law ‘he shows an openness and understanding of the commercial aspects of transactions that not many in-house counsels demonstrate’ according to one source. He started his career in a small-sized law firm, which gave him the opportunity to have a direct contact with courts and deeply understand the practicalities of the application of law. ‘This is a fundamental guideline in my actual functions regarding negotiating, structuring of transactions, drafting of contracts and guaranteed analyses’, he comments.
