Studying Law Around the World Determination, Vision, and Growth with Neil Montgomery
In this episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sit down with Neil Montgomery, Founder and Managing Partner of Montgomery in São Paulo. Neil shares his remarkable journey from studying law at the University of São Paulo to becoming one of Brazil’s most recognized international lawyers.
We discuss his bold “London Roadshow,” where he transformed a $5,000 self-funded trip into $50,000 in client work, the lessons that shaped his business model of “Lean Full Service,” and why visibility, consistency, and humility are the keys to building lasting relationships.
Neil also reflects on balancing an intense international practice with family life, leading by example, and creating a firm culture where young lawyers thrive.
This is a must-listen for law students, early professionals, and anyone interested in determination, vision, and growth in the legal world.
