Based in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais
In-person meetings by prior arrangement and remote service for clients in other countries.
Working across borders
Distance should not make the legal process harder to understand.
The goal is to make the Brazilian side of the matter clear: what is known, which documents matter, what requires confirmation and how the next steps can be organized.
Communication can take place by WhatsApp, email and video call. Relevant legal developments can be explained in English without removing the precision required by Brazilian law.
Documents issued abroad may require specific formalities before use in Brazil. Those requirements are assessed according to the country of origin, the type of document and the authority before which it will be presented.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before the first contact.
General information for people outside Brazil who are considering Brazilian legal assistance.
Do I need to travel to Brazil to hire a lawyer?
Not necessarily. Initial meetings, document review and many stages of legal work can often be handled remotely. Whether your physical presence is required depends on the type of matter, the documents involved and procedural requirements.
Can the firm represent clients anywhere in Brazil?
The firm can assess and conduct matters in different parts of Brazil when the subject, jurisdiction and procedural conditions allow it. The appropriate structure is confirmed after the initial review.
Can communication and legal updates be provided in English?
Yes. Meetings, explanations and regular communication can be conducted in English. Documents filed before Brazilian authorities may still need to follow Portuguese-language and formal requirements.
Can I sign a power of attorney while outside Brazil?
Often yes, but the required form depends on the document, the country where it is signed and its intended use in Brazil. Notarization, an apostille, consular formalities or a sworn translation may be required in some situations.
What should I send in the first message?
A short summary of the issue, your current country, the people or companies involved, important dates and the Brazilian connection is enough for the first contact. Sensitive documents should be shared only through the channel indicated by the firm.
Does the firm handle criminal cases?
No. The firm does not provide criminal-law representation. Its work is focused on civil, family, succession, contractual, property, banking, consumer, employment, social-security and selected business matters.
How are legal fees defined?
Fees depend on the scope, complexity, urgency, procedural stage and work required. The structure is presented after the initial information and documents have been reviewed.
Initial contact in English
Present the Brazilian side of your matter.
A concise message with your location, the people or companies involved, important dates and the connection to Brazil is enough to begin the initial review.
An initial inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential or sensitive documents until the firm confirms the appropriate channel.
