The firm has been shaped by the links to academia that many of SÉRVULO’s partners and associates have, such that one of the firm’s main strengths is its ability to build solid bridges between the theoretical knowledge and active legal practice.

SÉRVULO is committed to providing legal services of high added-value in those practices that are most relevant to the strategically important areas of business. SÉRVULO rewards merit and encourages the continuous acquisition of knowledge and other professional skills, an attitude which in turn is reflected in the quality of the services rendered.
