Within the scope of its continued expansion the firm has presently associations with offices in Angola, Mozambique and correspondents throughout Europe, in the United States and in Brazil, being a member of The Law Firm Network.
In 2001, Abreu & Marques e Associados integrated the law firm Luís Vinhas, Isabel Garcia e Associados, with experience in the areas of commercial law and in civil law litigation. As a result, the firm adopted for a period the name of Abreu & Marques, Vinhas e Associados.
