Methodology, sources and corrections

What Advogados.cv is

Advogados.cv is an independent legal directory and an information centre on the law of Cabo Verde.

It is not the Ordem dos Advogados de Cabo Verde (OACV), not a law firm, publishes no “best lawyers” rankings and provides no legal advice.

Directory ordering is neutral and is never influenced by payments or subscriptions.

Professional-status provenance

Professional records are reviewed snapshots of public sources, carrying an observation date and a last-checked date. No page claims real-time verification.

The OACV is the authoritative source of professional registration status. Advogados.cv does not replace that source and implies no endorsement.

Data sources

Every professional record references its source. There is no real-time updating: each source is a reviewed snapshot with an observation date.

How directory ordering works

Directory results are ordered deterministically, alphabetically by canonical name and, for equal names, alphabetically by identifier.

There is no paid or subscription ordering signal; the data model contains no such field.

Translation policy

The site is available in Portuguese (root), English and French.

Person and firm names, CP numbers, addresses, contact details and Cabo Verde place names are never translated; only interface labels and explanatory content are localized.

A missing translation is never faked: pages advertise only the translations that actually exist.

Corrections

If you find outdated or incorrect data, you can propose a correction backed by a primary source.

For professional-registration data, the primary source is the Ordem dos Advogados de Cabo Verde; the public Advogados.cv correction channel operates from launch.

Public corrections channel

To propose a correction, write to: info@advogados.cv

What to include in a correction request

• The URL of the page or profile concerned;
• The data you believe is incorrect or outdated;
• The primary source supporting the correction (instrument, certificate, official publication);
• A contact address for a reply, if desired.

Requests backed by a primary source are handled first. Advogados.cv either corrects the data or annotates the divergence with visibility equal to the original.

Legal information notice

All content on Advogados.cv is general legal information, provided without guarantee of accuracy or currency. It is not legal advice and creates no lawyer-client relationship. For your specific case, consult a lawyer; the directory lets you find professionals by area and island.
