Expertise
Areas of expertise
Advisory and contentious legal services throughout Brazil.
Tax
The Brazilian tax system comprises a complex set of laws, rules and instructions at the federal, state and municipal levels, under the command of constitutional rules and principles.
Corporate Restructuring and Recovery
All business activities are exposed to risks, especially those that result in business discontinuity and the constitution of liabilities. It is possible, however, to prevent such situations and build legal solutions that correct the economic and financial imbalance to which the company is subject.
Legal Departments (Outsourcing)
We have extensive experience in structuring and maintaining legal departments in companies, with professionals available for internal activities (outsourcing).
Corporate Litigation
Brazilian business activity is based on risk management and the practice of resolving administrative and legal conflicts. We serve Brazilian and foreign companies in a wide range of contentious proceedings through representation before Federal and State Courts. We advise on disputes of different natures and degrees of complexity.
Succession Planning
As important as building wealth is knowing how to preserve it for future generations. As a consequence of life, the transfer of assets and rights from holders to their successors is inevitable. However, the patrimonial transition requires planning.
Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance means the way companies will be organized, directed, guided and stimulated. Within best practices, bylaws, conventions, regulations, shareholders’ agreements, codes of ethics and good practices and other normative instruments will contain rules that guide and determine the company’s governance standards.
Mergers & Acquisitions — Corporate and M&A
Corporate relationships require adequate regulation through formal arrangements, in order to prevent conflicts and favor coexistence among partners. Such arrangements are equally necessary in mergers and acquisitions, to enable maximum legal certainty for the parties involved in the transaction.
