Connect: One word with many meanings.
With it, we can unite, link, aggregate, or even access. Uniting people, linking purposes, aggregating experiences, and accessing the new. The new law.
Connected, we can transform each other. And thus, transform the world. We were born 12 years ago. Since then, we’ve opened new possibilities and sought the most agile (often less obvious) paths to add legal security to hundreds of businesses. Over time, we’ve created, changed, built, rebuilt, and evolved. But always connected. Always with an agile and creative team that, together, interconnected, makes a difference in law.
We know the world has changed and continues to change. Thousands of connections today create the virtual, which could well already be called real. Linked to these changes, we plug legal practice into a new reality. We connect the experience and solidity of the “traditional” to the creativity and restlessness of innovation. We access tomorrow, now.
From the connection of thousands of “.com” domains emerged the web, which revolutionized the world. From the connection of “5 .con” domains, comes APSV.Connect, a pioneering legal innovation program in Brazil, developed within a law firm to revolutionize the legal world. Our 5 .con, “Legal Innovation Sector,” “Tech,” “Partners,” “Ecosystem,” and “Lawtech Hub,” connect everything we’ve built so far and create the new reality of our services.
