The only Portuguese firm nominee

Vieira de Almeida & Associados shortlisted for The Lawyer Management Awards 2014 in the ‘Excellence in Talent Management and Retention' and ‘Excellence in Training' categories with two projects: ‘The Talent Management Story Tale' and the ‘5 Days Accelerated MBA on Regulatory Management'.

The first one involved 400 participants from law firms of 14 countries, allowing talent mapping of success and sustainability critical strands: production, business, team and legal know-how. The reporting draws a parallel between talent management and Snow White's Story. Through this metaphor the corporate awareness on each lawyer's talent (question addressed to the magic mirror) and the talents' diversity and complementarity among the team (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) was enhanced.

The 5 Days Accelerated MBA on Regulatory Management is an intensive post graduate program on management and regulatory law matters that results from the partnership established between Porto Business School, ARCTEL and VdAcademia (Vieira de Almeida & Associados' corporate training association certified by DGERT). It is a tailor made program for Portuguese and Portuguese speaking countries' senior managers of the Telecommunication, Media and Technologies sectors, providing management skills and specific regulation for the development of their activity.

To Susana Almeida Lopes, Corporate Services Director, "This nomination is the recognition of the effort that has been dedicated to the strategic development of practices for people management. We believe that the development of this kind of innovative approaches is what characterizes our work and distinguishes us nationally and internationally, allowing a bigger focus on and a closer relationship with our clients."
