Community

AVM believes that practicing law brings with it the responsibility to provide legal services to those who are less privileged. AVM´s lawyers regularly undertake Pro-Bono initiatives to demonstrate our strong commitment to the emerging and developing markets which we work in.

AVM provides legal aid and undertakes volunteer work to both individuals and families in need as well as to charitable and non-profit organisations.

The wealth of experience and knowledge of the AVM team of professionals focuses essentially on the needs and requirements of their clients. However, the culture of our law firm embraces a strong commitment to sharing its experience and knowledge throughout the countries we are established in. Accordingly, we encourage our lawyers to prepare and disseminate articles for publications and to compile legislation in the most relevant areas of law covered by our professionals.

A concerted effort is also put into our monthly newsletters which are compiled to include the most important legislative changes likely to affect the business and investments of our clients.

AVM has a history and culture of cooperation with the academic community. This firm’s guarantee of service excellence is largely due to the high standard of its professional staff, many of which are advisors to the Government in drawing up legislation, university lecturers and researchers in Angola and abroad.

In order to provide incentives to academic growth and the motivation needed in the continuous search for service excellence, AVM has funded two awards to acknowledge exceptional achievement by final year law students at Universities. As a result, each year we recruit two or three law students from the best universities to continue their training at our firm as well as lecturers from various law faculties to become an integral part of our consulting team.

Our relationship with the academic community is clearly very important to us and we strive to strengthen it wherever possible.
