"Sérvulo & Associados has hired Alexandra M. Martins as partner and Mariana Brazão as senior associate to strengthen its corporate and M&A practice."
Alexandra M. Martins joins Sérvulo as a partner. She brings nearly 20 years of experience in M&A, having been involved in major domestic and cross-border transactions as well as privatisation processes. Her practice has focused on advising national and multinational clients across sectors including fast-moving consumer goods, agri-food, healthcare, telecommunications, media, concessions and infrastructure. She joined Cuatrecasas as partner in 2023. She holds a law degree from the University of Coimbra and an Advanced Master’s in International Business Law from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
Mariana Brazão joins Sérvulo as a senior associate. She has over eight years of experience in corporate and M&A matters, with a focus on clients in the food and beverage, agri-food, healthcare and tourism sectors. She is a lateral hire from Cuatrecasas. She previously served as a guest assistant professor at the University of Lisbon, where she also obtained her law degree, and holds a postgraduate qualification in Insolvency Law.
Pedro Silveira Borges, partner and head of the corporate and M&A department at Sérvulo, said the addition of both lawyers consolidates the team’s capacity to handle high-complexity transactions, reinforcing its seniority, specialisation and technical depth, and will help drive the firm’s growth and strengthen its position in the M&A market.
