Being a graduate of the law program has been a transforming experience. The training with emphasis in private law gave me a solid foundation in civil, commercial, labor and family law, always from an ethical and practical approach. This allowed me to develop skills to analyze, argue and resolve conflicts, advising both individuals and companies. I am convinced that the program trains lawyers with integrity, capable of taking on the challenges of legal practice and contributing to social and business development. I proudly recommend this career to those who wish to be trained with quality and commitment.
