‘Beauty, as the law dictates’ (with SRS Legal and Pedro Rebelo de Sousa)

‘There are other firms following this trend or, in fact, had already adopted it. This is the case with SRS Legal. Pedro Rebelo de Sousa, Senior Partner at the firm, has been with us since 1998. Founded in 1992, SRS Advogados was formed through a partnership between Simmons & Simmons, J&A Garrigues and Pinheiro Neto. It was the first international law firm in Portugal.

[...]

Some partners have loaned works of art to the firm on a loan-for-display basis. “We try to have iconic works in our collection. We have, for example, a 1968 painting by Malangatana, from the period when he was coming into his own as a painter.” The firm has also developed a strong involvement in cultural institutions. Brotéria and the Marvão International Festival are good examples of this collaborative aspect. As part of this cultural activity, they launched the Casino’s new lecture series, inspired by Eça de Queiroz, which tackle contemporary issues.”
