Here's what the World Trademark Review said:
“Guerra has always been big in the south of Brazil, but has established itself strongly in Rio now,” peers report. “The Guerra family has run things extremely well – there is a great support structure behind some really solid partners. The group is very conscientious and produces great results on routine and difficult matters.” Brand owners concur: “It delivers high quality for a fair price.” “It also understands business and is incredibly responsive to any need.”

Many companies – domestic and international – have transferred portfolios here, thanks to the excellent work and “outstanding overall level of service” of Diego Vieira: “He has a keen ability to listen to his clients and he makes you feel like a member of the team. When important matters arise, he is a go-to lawyer; he prepares the best strategic approaches towards the protection of trademark portfolios and represents huge bang for your buck.”

"Big-hitter Ricardo Pinho, a seasoned portfolio manager and a market leader when it comes to IP contracts."

"Cristina Guerra, a whizz on geographical indications and the regional management of large portfolios."

“It remains a dominant force in that part of the country - its Porto Alegre office is the largest IP office in the region - but more recently its reputation has expanded further north and beyond; the 2011 opening of its Rio de Janeiro branch was a watershed moment in the firm’s development into a prominent national, and even international, player."
