We are a firm that wants to create a better world through our cases. Our fields of activity focus on the defence of human rights and the environment, in addition to the interests of our clients, to achieve this goal.
The defense of the environment has been increasingly on the agenda with society demanding responsibility and sustainability in its operations.
However, large international corporations still fail to ensure the safety of the environment and society. We fight for compensation that is fair and coherent with society’s needs.
Indigenous communities are fundamental representatives of Brazilian society, and have particular conditions derived from their unique relationship with nature and their culture.
Therefore, we are proud to have a special connection with the part of the law that knows the details about indigenous conditions in Brazilian and international law and, thus, manage to defend their interests confidently.
Collective disputes are an essential tool so that the rights of groups are respected, and to guarantee the responsibility and duties of companies towards the work environment and employees.
We are proud to work on these disputes to defend the rights of our clients and thus build a healthier and fairer corporate culture.
With our work in corporate law, we have been able to use all our experience to create sustainable management and corporate governance strategies.
We consider the needs and rights of all stakeholders in order to deliver quality and value to our customers.
Agreements and contracts are essential to create lasting and secure partnerships.
Our team works tirelessly to establish relationships based on these values and that deliver, and exceed, the results expected by our clients.
Through our international partnership, we have a network that gives us access to the best and most innovative in the law world. We’re able to partake knowledge and inspiration from professionals on the frontlines of historic actions around the globe.
Like David and Goliath, we are not afraid to take on the biggest players in the market on behalf of our clients. If we believe in the cause, we fight until the end for justice and we trust in our ability to succeed.
We are proud to have only the most specialized professionals in our areas of expertise, whether with national and international academic experience, or with practical experience in the largest firms and cases in the world.
