Since then, it has cultivated a reputation for excellence, independence, and rigor. The firm is guided by a strict ethical code, ensuring full professional independence and avoiding any political, economic, or religious affiliations.

Today, FBL is home to around 20 professionals, united by a shared dedication to client service, technical competence, and innovation. The firm is structured into specialized practice areas, including Corporate, M&A and Private Equity, Banking and Finance, Criminal Law and Compliance, Natural Resources and Energy, Administrative and Tax Law, Employment, Real Estate and Land Use, Litigation and Arbitration, and Competition Law. This multidisciplinary expertise enables FBL to advise on the most complex and strategic legal matters in Angola.

The firm also serves key economic sectors such as energy, oil and gas, mining, banking, healthcare, construction, agriculture, retail, technology, tourism, and infrastructure. Through its partnership with Abreu Advogados and the Lex Africa network, FBL extends its reach to Portuguese-speaking jurisdictions across Africa, Europe, Asia, and South America.

Deeply committed to the community, FBL actively supports social responsibility initiatives, local projects, and organizations that contribute to Angola’s progress.
