The nomination has happened in the Tax category and was attributed to the lawyer and founding partner of RFF & Associados, Rogério M. Fernandes Ferreira, and to the senior associates Francisco de Carvalho Furtado and Mónica Respício Gonçalves who saw their law firm and names recognized by the prestigious annual publication of this American directory.

 Rogério M. Fernandes Ferreira was also nominated for Portugal as "Tax Lawyer of the Year". Only a single lawyer in each practice area in each community was honored as the "Lawyer of the Year".
