About

Provided by Pinheiro Neto Advogados

For more than 80 years, the firm translates the Brazilian legal environment for the benefit of local and foreign clients. With eight decades of experience and clients spanning more than 80 countries, we have developed a unique, tight-knit culture focused on ever improving the delivery of legal services in Brazil.

With correspondents throughout Brazil and close relationships with first-tier law firms around the world, we are fully equipped to deal with cross-border matters involving companies of all sizes, locations and segments.

As a Brazilian law firm with a global vision, our challenge is understanding what lies ahead and bringing into reality ideas and solutions that meet our client needs and expectations.

To remain as a valued strategic partner for our clients, we invest heavily in professional development, not only through strong on-the-job training, but also by means of the highly structured Pinheiro Neto Professional Development Program. We encourage our attorneys to pursue international associate programs and postgraduate studies abroad.

By the end of 2019, we announced a new office in Tokyo, the second breakthrough move by the firm in less than two years after launching a Palo Alto Office in 2018. The new branches enable us to be closer to our clients and support our strategic grow.
