At Piquet Law Firm, which focuses on various facets of local and international corporate law including real estate, corporate tax, immigration and litigation, they know it’s critical for attorneys to understand the legal and cultural ramifications of a case in order to help clients discover the best possible route of action. Associate Alex Vanicek explains why this is so important for him: “My mother emigrated from Brazil, and we spoke Portuguese at home,” she says. “Being an attorney here puts me in the unique position of being able to assist Brazilian and American clients in their respective languages.”; PiquetLawFirm.com.
