Strategy and Transparency for the Best Solutions

Our performance has always been guided by rigorous strategic planning, the search for the best solutions for the cases, absolute transparency in the relationship with our clients, discretion, efficiency, agility and strict commitment to ethics and legality, a model that has presented excellent results in all cases entrusted to our attention.

The individualized support of our team added to the use of technological means allow the development of a rigid and efficient procedural follow-up, essential for agility in the adoption of the necessary measures to protect the interests of our clients.

Our team has extensive experience both in the scope of classical criminal law - those crimes provided for in the Criminal Code which aim to protect life, heritage, intangible property, organization of work, religious and dead feelings, sexual dignity, family, physical safety, public peace, public faith and public administration – and in the context of economic criminal law – criminal offenses provided for in autonomous laws and usually aim at guaranteeing the protection of specific subjects, such as the environment, the financial system, and the tax system.

Individual Entities

According to the national criminal law, individuals are always responsible for criminal charges except for environmental crimes. Thus, even in the case of corporate criminal law, our fundamental commitment is to the person affected by the criminal situation.

Defending them or helping them to have the appropriate state response to a crime of which they were a victim, our permanent commitment is caring and understanding that there will always be people affected by crime and accusation.


Civil Litigation

In response to demand from our clients, the firm has also started to offer legal services in civil litigation, focusing on the areas of Obligations and Contracts, Banking Law and Civil Liability, Consumer Law and Family Law, Administrative Improbity and the Anti-Corruption Law. In response to demand from our clients, the firm has also started to offer legal services in civil litigation, focusing on the areas of Obligations and Contracts, Banking Law and Civil Liability, Consumer Law and Family Law, Administrative Improbity and the Anti-Corruption Law.

New demands and new challenges, from virtual fraud, breach of data secrecy, civil liability related to environmental damage, fake news, among other issues that are in evidence, have become the object of the firm's work.

Thus, the joint work of the new practice area (civil litigation) with the firm's criminal team makes it possible to develop a vision aimed at resolving conflicts effectively, quickly and completely, always seeking to mitigate risks and optimize results for clients.   The team has extensive experience in legal disputes involving issues relating to damages and compensation (contractual and non-contractual civil liability), as well as in credit recovery/recovery assets (anti-fraud), also advising companies and individuals in contractual matters. These are crucial areas of law, as they deal with issues that directly impact both individuals and companies, as well as involving high values and significant repercussions.

Acting in these spheres involves technical and strategic work that requires not only legal knowledge, but an interdisciplinary range of skills to deal with complex litigation.
