A story worth telling

THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING

In 1968, recently graduated attorney Hamilton de Oliveira, from Campinas, São Paulo, decided to open his own law office. This new endeavor was focused on Real Estate Law and Civil Contractual Law, thanks to Oliveira’s experience at the Campinas City Hall and friends of his who worked with civil construction. But it would not take long for the office’s areas of specialty to expand. It would eventually provide services in Family Law, headed by his wife, attorney Gitla Gindler de Oliveira from Bauru, São Paulo.

The venture showed consistent growth, which required its physical facilities to expand accordingly. In 1979, the offices moved from a tiny set of rooms at Edíficio Dom Nery to the then newly inaugurated business complex Edifício Cruz Alta. The venture would move once again in 1996 to what is now its current address, at Centro Empresarial Carmo in downtown Campinas.

Also in 1996, the founding members’ first child, Fábio Gindler de Oliveira, starts working at AHO. With a bachelor’s degree in Law and Business Administration and experience across major corporations, Fábio is initially hired as an intern and soon begins his ascension in the company.

His brother, Alexandre Gindler de Oliveira, joins AHO in 1998 as an intern attorney. The brothers soon begin their professional growth and provide new ideas to AHO, both in management and communications. It was them who were responsible for the offices’ first visual identity and website.

In 2001, AHO formed its Labor and Tax Law departments, increasing its range of clients, strengthening the AHO brand and the company’s position in the region.

2020 saw yet another expansion in the areas of activity, namely Compliance (in partnership with Prae Venire law offices in Miami, FL), Reorganization, Data Protection Law and Digital Law (in partnership with Fuga & Zoega law offices).

AHO’s professional development and constant focus on keeping up with the latest developments, with the introduction of new technologies and management systems, allowed the company to seamless transition to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic without hampering its results and growth. Today, the team works in a hybrid format according to the latest market trends.

And the story continues, with a range of young and experienced law professionals that offer a unique way to tackle legal issues; maintaining traditions while evolving continuously. This allowed AHO increasingly achieve its goals every year and find itself in position of notoriety, proving its methods are a recipe for success.
