Our partner Helen Naves was appointed to the Special Committee on Banking Law of the São Paulo Section of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB SP).
In the committee, Helen will participate in legal discussions and events on current topics in the area, seeking to analyze regulations, decisions and perspectives of various matters related to Banking Law.
Our consideration and deference to our clients always come first. Respect is good, in all places, and we value the respect for others, as well as respect for differences and diversities.
The world is in constant movement and one of humanity’s biggest challenges is to adapt to such constant movements and changes. Likewise, the Law evolves and adapts to new realities. We believe that flexibility is an essential pilar at H•Naves, beginning with how we assist and communicate with our clients – always in a direct, objective, and efficient way – to the moment we implement our work, developing harmonic collaborations and mutual benefits with our clients.
We are passionate about the Law, legal theories and principles, contracts, and negotiation techniques. Our practical and significant experience in Banking Law, Finance, and Capital Markets allows us to go beyond the basic knowledge and motivates us to transcend our clients’ needs.
As a partnership of lawyers organized in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, our performance is guided by the principles and rules forming the consciousness and conduct of the legal professional, in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Discipline of the Bar Association of Brazil – OAB.
Additionally, H•Naves adopts the New York State Bar Association Ethics Best Practice Guidelines for Latin America and The Caribbean. The guidelines aspire to promote, advance, and support values and principles of ethics, integrity, and the rule of law throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, with an emphasis on public and corporate responsibility and best practices in the legal profession.
We believe in the essence of the fundamental right to freedom and equality, and we trust in the premise that all men and women are equal in rights and obligations.
In our daily experience with the Law and, especially in the Financial Market, we notice that women are frequently underrepresented, especially in leadership positions. We dare to dream that female lawyers will have more opportunities that will allow them to be fully equal to male lawyers and, thus, we emphasize the hiring of female professionals with the purpose of contributing towards greater career opportunities for women.
Additionally, since the beginning of its activities, H•Naves pledged its commitment to gender equality under the HeForShe global movement.
We dedicate time and special attention to each of our clients and their businesses, as we believe in a personalized service and close relationship with our clients.
We consider correctness, dignity, frankness, and transparency the premises of our work and our relationship with our clients and collaborators. We appreciate and value long lasting relationships with our clients and collaborators, always nourished with these qualities and attributes.
We strictly follow the word and instruction given by our clients, with fidelity, respect, and responsibility. We act with the precepts which regulate our duty and integrity in assisting our clients’ needs, applying, in practical terms, all of our knowledge and experience.
