Legal Representation in an Increasingly Relevant Sector

Throughout Brazil and worldwide, white-collar crimes have gained importance in recent years as administrative and judicial entities more frequently investigate alleged violations by companies in fields such as industrial and intellectual property, the environment, competition, cartels, financial crimes, money laundering, and international crimes. Clients under investigation often require the support of experienced white collar defense attorneys.

Against this background, it is fundamental for companies to count on a multidisciplinary team of lawyers, able to provide legal follow-up on police investigations and criminal prosecutions.
