Gonçalo Capela Godinho is expected to join the firm in Madrid in July.
With more than 20 years of experience, Godinho joins the firm to contribute to the international development of the firm and to boost relationships with clients and institutions outside Spain, specifically in the Portuguese-speaking markets, with a special focus on Portugal and Brazil.
With his experience in the Brazilian, Portuguese, British and US markets, Godinho joins Pérez-Llorca’s international project on which the firm has been working for several years and which materialised with its own offices abroad in 2015, when the firm opened its London and New York offices, continued in 2022 with Brussels and has been further consummated in 2023 with Singapore.

Until now, he was a partner at a well-known Brazilian firm and previously worked in the London and New York offices of a major US law firm. Godinho will combine his work in Pérez-Llorca’s international project with advising clients on commercial matters in the energy and infrastructure sectors, areas in which he has excelled in recent years, participating in some of the most important transactions in these sectors in Brazil.
“Gonçalo’s international and strategic vision will help us to continue to develop and grow beyond our borders as part of the Firm’s international vocation,” said Pedro Pérez-Llorca, managing partner of Pérez-Llorca.
“We believe that we are at the right time, both in terms of our size and our positioning, to continue to strengthen our international projection, and we believe that Gonçalo will help us to achieve this goal together with the partners responsible for the international strategy in all our offices”, says Iván Delgado, partner responsible for the international development of Pérez-Llorca.
