For matters involving international elements, we analyze the Brazilian legal implications of assets, companies, and investment vehicles held abroad, as well as trusts, foundations, and other fiduciary structures. We coordinate with foreign counsel, family offices, asset managers, financial advisors, and accountants, while respecting each professional’s role and responsibilities.

When disagreements arise, we help prevent and resolve family and corporate conflicts through negotiations, mediation, probate proceedings, and disputes involving heirs, shareholders, directors and officers, or family assets. Our strategy considers not only the legal dispute but also business continuity, family relationships, confidentiality, and long-term consequences.

We do not rely on standardized structures. Each plan is developed according to the client’s objectives, stage of life, and applicable legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.
