MJ Alves Burle e Viana Advogados is specialized in Legal Advocacy, a practice regulated by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) Statute, and is a pioneer in this field in Brazil. Legal Advocacy is at the core of the firm's strategy and permeates all practice areas—especially in complex tax litigation.
MJAB has led major tax cases with national impact, including the structuring of the taxation framework for the coffee industry and gold trading in Brazil. Recently, the firm played a key role in a landmark tax settlement involving Gol Linhas Aéreas, which filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. In a groundbreaking agreement with Brazil’s Office of the Attorney General of the National Treasury, MJAB helped secure a 42% reduction in the company’s tax liabilities. This deal had a global impact on Gol and its clients and marked the first tax transaction ever signed with a company undergoing simultaneous judicial reorganization under Chapter 11 in the Southern District of New York. MJAB also helped Azul Linhas Aéreas lower its tax liability from BRL 5 billion to BRL 1.05 billion. In another significant case, the firm successfully reduced TV Gazeta’s tax debt through one of the fastest Offer in Compromise agreements on record.
These achievements demonstrate MJAB’s ability to combine legal innovation, deep tax knowledge, and institutional engagement to reach high-impact results. With Legal Advocacy as a strategic tool, MJAB bridges legal, regulatory, and governmental spheres.
