Here's what the World Trademark Review said:
"Guerra IP just had a bumper year in prosecution, as several of its US clients ramped up their filing activities in Brazil. Using thorough and effective searching as a foundation, the team manages the filing and registration process and ongoing portfolio development with machine-like precision. That is not to say that its service lacks the personal touch; the squad overlay the more process-driven aspects of their work with strategic analyses tailored to each client".

"Another draw is the specialist expertise of Cristina Guerra, who has a nuanced understanding of the law around geographical indications; she also has a deep knowledge of IP systems in the region and regularly plays the role of Latin America brand protection coordinator".

"The IP transactional practice is in extremely capable hands as well, with Ricardo Pinho at the helm. Technically excellent and simply one of the best IP attorneys in Brazil,” he also contributes vitally to the rights management and contentious practices. The boutique has proved its mettle in litigation, its successes taking the form of the strong injunctions that have been coming thick and fast lately".

Here's what IAM magazine said: 
From its base near Southern Brazil’s manufacturing heartland Porto Alegre, Guerra IP preaches patent doctrine to the country’s industrial community, guiding patrons along the rocky road to rights protection.
It is adroit at utilising all available tools to promote national players’ stake in the market and deploys its business acumen and hands-on approach to assist the development of robust patent portfolios. Senior partner Alberto Guerra’s word is law; he drives the boutique’s growth through his passion for intellectual property and many years of experience counselling illustrious corporate bodies both domestically and abroad. Partner in the Rio de Janeiro office, Ricardo Pinho is a big name in the national IP scene – he recently completed a term as president of the Brazilian Association of Industrial Property Agents and is a sought-after authority in licensing matters.
