Our approach combines the multidisciplinary and integrated composition of our team with our experience in business relations and with the public sector, offering effective solutions without straying from the specialized knowledge required in each area.
Regulatory and Governmental Relations
Brazil's regulatory tradition and the inevitable intersection of business and public policy demand a focus on managing complex regulatory issues and building solid, institutional relationships with governmental bodies.
Our firm's approach is aimed at facilitating high-level participation in regulatory discussions with the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, enriching the debate with legal and business perspectives that result in efficient and high-quality regulatory practices.
Our office is strategic located in Brasília to enable active and institutional participation in Brazil’s decision-making processes and advocating for our clients' interests in nationally significant matters.
Strategic Litigation
We represent national and international clients in complex legal disputes involving both public and private law, at all levels of state and federal courts.
Our firm's practice includes various economic sectors and areas of law, emphasizing contractual, real estate, consumer, and innovation law, as well as cases involving Public Administration.
By combining technical knowledge with pragmatic action, our Litigation department prioritizes effective solutions and provides individualized, strategic support across various courts.
Administrative Law
Merging academic and practical knowledge, we provide legal guidance in cases that require interaction with the Public Power in regulated areas, such as Oil and Gas, Sanitation, Digital Services, Transportation, Energy, and Health. Our aim is to assist in our clients' operations and anticipate risks, always starting from the analysis and understanding of laws and normative acts of each sector.
Our Administrative Law practice also includes monitoring disciplinary actions and cases of administrative misconduct, civil inquiries and public civil actions, defense against administrative sanctions from consumer, environmental bodies or regulatory agencies, as well as advising on bidding procedures and contracts with the public sector.
Criminal Law and Compliance
We advise individuals and legal entities in criminal cases involving environmental crimes, offenses against financial order, tax laws, public administration, and others, particularly those connected to business activities.
Our firm's approach includes close and diligent monitoring of criminal proceedings from the investigative phase, with representation in state and federal courts up to the Superior Courts. We also offer consultancy for evaluating our clients' commercial and operational risks and assistance in agreements and collaborations in the criminal area.
Our expertise includes advising clients on the implementation of compliance policies which, based on the analysis of legal aspects and the evaluation of specific cases, represent more efficient procedures and, above all, are aligned with norms and guidelines of corporate ethics.
Litigation and Investigations
Based on a careful analysis and in-depth understanding of the case itself and the client's activities and interests, we provide advisory services to seek for a conflict resolution that is aligned with their objectives.
To build a pragmatic solution, we resort to methods of defensive and proactive investigation that broaden the understanding of the case context and enhance the accuracy of the decision-making process.
