The Firm

Our law firm was established in 1990 to offer first-class legal services, with efficiency, security, and reliability.

Today we are one of the leading law firms in Brazil, highly respected in the demanding international scenario.

We specialize in the main Corporate Law areas, providing services to national and international clients of all sizes and economic sectors. Since the onset, we are acknowledged in the market as one of the leading firms in the tax area by our clients, peers and the most renowned international publications. Our excellence in the tax segment was extended to our other practice areas, which enjoy equal recognition and reputation.

We believe that our skilled work and our close relationship with our clients adds value to their business. We believe that Law is not a commodity. The provision of legal services is strategic and requires unconditional dedication, continual education and unrestricted respect of ethics. Developing safer solutions in an environment surrounded by legal insecurity: this is the challenge posed and that we took on.

We have an in-depth knowledge of our clients, their business and goals. We believe that our mission is to help clients grow, optimize resources, seek creative alternatives for complex problems, and carry on the best business in a dynamic world, full of opportunities and challenges.

Our team is comprised of professionals with superior technical capacity, with different academic qualifications, who work together to offer more efficient solutions.

We are headquartered in São Paulo, and we also have offices in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. We rely on the work of correspondents throughout Brazil and maintain productive relationships with the most distinguished international firms.
