Expertise
Our expertise is Family and Succession Law.
We encourage settlements to avoid long lasting and costly legal proceedings. In case a settlement is not feasible, we act before Court in the best interest of the client, without losing sight of the family bonds to be maintained.
We also act from a preventive standpoint, guiding the clients in crucial choices to support their family and protect their assets. In this context, we work for individuals and family entrepreneurs on their estate and succession planning in Brazil and abroad.
Our international skills are enhanced by our experience on the most complex cross-border cases.
In addition to our practice in family and succession law, we also work on cases of real estate, environmental issues, urban planning, damages claims, and corporate and contractual disputes.
