Firm Overview:  

Tocantins Advogados has a renowned and solid performance in the areas of Labor Law and Labor Procedure, besides a detail-oriented performance in the Contractual and Civil Litigation areas. Its team of professionals has the most varied backgrounds within the area, coming from the most solid Law Schools and with experience in several renowned law firms, with specialization, post-graduation and master's degrees, and with vast experience in the practices of Labor Litigation, Consultancy and Due Diligences.

Since most of our professionals have worked in the labor departments of traditional Brazilian multi-area law firms, our philosophy is to combine the positive aspects of a multi-area law firm, such as personalized service and the necessary infrastructure, with the practices of a traditional labor law firm.

We are motivated to be part of a new law practice and a new relationship between companies and people in the provision of legal services. We know that understanding and respecting the culture of each company and each individual is crucial to conclude a deal and solve a project.

MAIN AREAS OF PRACTICE: 

Our practice areas are well established and recognized nationally and internationally, and are cited in major legal rankings such as Chambers & Partners, Leaders League, and Análise Advocacia.

Labor and Social Security 

Our labor area is recognized as one of the most efficient in the national legal scenario, serving more than a hundred national and foreign clients on a monthly basis, which grants us due recognition also at an international level. For this reason, we operate both in the litigation and advisory areas, with emphasis on an effectively strategic service.

In the case of litigation, we act in Labor Lawsuits, Individual and/or Collective, filed by (i) employees, (ii) Professional Unions, (iii) Public Labor Prosecutors, and (iv) Authorities connected to the Ministry of Labor.

In addition to consultations regarding the application of Labor Law in Brazil, specific projects and due diligences, we assist our clients in Collective Negotiations for the adjustment of Collective Instruments (Collective Agreements or Conventions), in addition to the filing of Collective Disputes actions.

Finally, we are active in labor and social security administrative litigation, which includes administrative proceedings before the Regional Labor Office, the Labor Public Prosecutor's Office, and assessments related to social security contributions.

Civil Litigation and Contracts 

Our performance in the areas of civil litigation and contracts involves from the definition of strategies for conflict resolution, to assistance in legal cases, with close monitoring of the proceedings, both in the judicial and extrajudicial spheres.
