Number of partners: 13
Number of associates and lawyers: 14
The firm commenced its operations in 1997 with the primary objective of providing proactive, preventive, and, above all, business-oriented legal advice to Brazilian and foreign companies with investments in the North Region of Brazil. To support its objective in accordance with the highest standards of performance, the firm sought from the outset to mirror reference firms and successful business management models.
Over the course of more than 26 years of intense activity, Andrade GC has closely followed all major transformations that have positively impacted the state of Amazonas and developed legal expertise tailored to the business context of the region. With a focus on the Industrial District of Manaus and the applicable legislation, the firm offers a wide range of services encompassing integrated advice in several areas, including civil law, consumer law, contracts, real estate, corporate criminal law, labour law, and tax law.
The tax incentives offered to industries established in Manaus are extremely attractive, but ensuring their viability is no trivial matter and requires experienced counsel with an extensive knowledge of the local legislation.
