The row between Portuguese leader Barrocas & Alves Pereira (BAP) and a former partner over the use of his name in the firm’s title has been settled in acrimonious style with BAP this month re-branding.

The firm has become Barrocas Sarmento & Rocha following eight months of bitter dispute, which came to a head in July following a case brought by legacy name partner Jose Alves Pereira over BAP’s use of his name.
