GPD, Gemma Provaggi De André, continues to expand its international partnership network.

The first stage of this new partnership is the Exchange Professional Programme, which will enable professionals from GPD and the Brazilian law firm Cescon Barrieu to undertake a period of training and work at their respective offices.

Emanuele Rumi Rios, Senior Associate at GPD, will be the first to depart for a summer programme at the Rio de Janeiro office, while GPD’s Rome headquarters is prepared to host a Brazilian colleague.

Cescon Barrieu (https://www.cesconbarrieu.com.br/) is among the leading Brazilian law firms, consistently ranked among the best in the country across various practice areas including M&A, Project Finance, Capital Markets, and Energy.

This initiative has been made possible through an agreement reached with Maurício Teixeira dos Santos, Partner at Cescon Barrieu.

The expansion of GPD’s international network of law and tax firms with which to create long-term synergies is among the firm’s primary objectives, with a development plan for contacts at the European and global level on its agenda.
