The concern with the acknowledgment of equal opportunities between men and women and best practices in the governance of GPA Law Firm, namely in management positions, have been a constant throughout the 18 years of the Firm's existence.

One of the first law firms in Portugal to have a Female Managing Partner (Sofia Gouveia Pereira), GPA Law Firm has three female partners out of a total of seven partners (those representing 43%) and, in the firm's management positions, at C-level, it also has a high female representation.
