AVM Advogados provided legal assistance to the British group Diageo in a new partnership with Refriango, in an amount of circa 6 million dollars. The partnership, internationally advised by the British law firm Addleshaw Goddard LLP, seeks the implementation of an industrial unit for the manufacturing of spirits in Angola, which was inaugurated on 28 November by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
The operation represents a remarkable investment of the British group in terms of technology acquisition, transmission of know-how and strengthening of national industry, to reduce imports and reinforce the country’s export potential.
The AVM Advogados team in charge of the project was locally coordinated by António Vicente Marques (Managing Partner) and Wilker dos Santos Pacheco (Associate). In an international level, the project was advised by José Alves do Carmo (Partner) and Maria Inês Costa (Associate).
