For decades, our partners have been assisting the operation of some of the largest companies in Brazil, whether in the relationship among the partners or in the various management and governance bodies of companies.

Our work ranges from the creation of the company in its most diverse legal formats to the structuring of its corporate governance and legal advice for resolution of day-to-day legal issues.

We also work on disputes that may arise in the relationship among the partners or issues involving the liability of a company’s management to third parties, including for alleged violation of rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM).

• drafting of bylaws and articles of association customized to the specificities of each business;
• preparation of shareholders’ agreements and quotaholders’ agreements;
• issuance of securities;
• advice to publicly held companies, including within the scope of their boards of directors, board of executive officers and advisory committees;
