  • ‘Felipe Basto is an extremely dedicated, available and friendly lawyer. In addition to being one of the most hands-on lawyers I work with, he is also very sophisticated when it comes to presenting non-ordinary solutions to complex matters.

  • 'FCDG has a very experienced team in all fields of civil and business litigation. In restructuring, the fact that the team acts for all ends of the process (debtor, creditor, AJ and investor) is noteworthy, so that it knows exactly how the agents will act in the process. It is an firm where we are always assisted by a senior partner, with a multidisciplinary and business-oriented vision. They are always available and usually have out-of-the-box ideas.'
