Years of Practice
International Clients

After long professional careers across a wide range of legal fields, the desire to create a shared structure emerged naturally—one that reflects what we truly believe in as legal professionals: a practice of law based on proximity, strategy and results. The firm is founded on a simple, yet often overlooked principle: the relationship between lawyer and client must be continuous, transparent and accessible. We believe trust is built through presence, clarity and the ability to anticipate problems before they arise. These pillars were at the core of SFBA’s creation and continue to guide our daily work.
By combining the accumulated experience of its founding partners with a modern, solution-oriented approach, SFBA positions itself as a law firm that unites legal rigour, strategic creativity and pragmatic solutions, capable of addressing the real needs of its clients, whether in a personal or business context. Each client receives close and continuous legal support, with a commitment to active and effective communication—because we know that many disputes arise precisely from the absence of timely response and proper follow-up.
More than a law firm, SFBA represents a space where thoughtful, preventive and effective legal practice is carried out. We work side by side with our clients as strategic partners, anticipating risks, defining pathways and ensuring that every decision is made with confidence and foresight.
It is this combination of experience, dedication and proximity that defines SFBA and enables us to achieve the results our clients expect—and deserve.
