Who We Are

A boutique law firm delivering strategic counsel and long-term value.

Founded by Paula Farrajota, FARRAJOTA Sociedade de Advogados reaches maturity through the union of two solid and complementary careers, with the arrival of Patrícia do Amaral Gurgel to join the team, bringing more than two decades of legal experience. The firm is driven by the purpose of offering strategic, specialized, and close client-focused legal services.

Initially focused on foreign investors and highly complex corporate matters, it later expanded its practice to areas such as civil litigation, labor law, and estate and succession planning, always with active listening and an emphasis on long-term relationships. Today, with a clear market positioning and high value-added performance, it has established itself as a boutique law firm that delivers what matters most: security, support, and solutions.
